It comes down to the individual airline, and sometimes even the discretion of the person on duty when you check in. Many airlines' policy is that the no fee for extra bag applies only to active duty personnel on orders. We have had some airlines give us the break as soon as we show orders and others refuse and be fairly mean about it because we are...See More
Couple of Questions
American Airlines only allows extra baggage (free) allowance for Active Duty Military, on orders or not (and their family, only if their family is on orders). I just quit AA prior to my husband accepting this assignment. That being said, I will also say that so many employees I worked with don't bother really looking at the CAC cards and knowing on...See More

If you get the offer then everything will work itself out. Yes, there is a chance that you would not be there when school opens but this is not that rare an occurrence would certainly not be your fault.
On the other hand HR can work miracles when they really want to to so it could happen. Good luck!

I would also ask the union for input. Whatever you do will (I believe) require filing for LWOP status. I also believe that you will still be bound by the requirement to have at least one day of paid status (work or leave) per pay period in order to keep receiving LQA.
Maybe the Sheriff will have some regs/other useful input for you.

Yes, haha is spot-on: in additon to agency personnel experts, definitely *also* utilize your Union membership to immediately seek its experienced advice and its active advocacy. Extended leave situations are complicated as well as complex so you want the maximum amount of expert knowledge available; even then, do not be surpised when one agency off...See More

I got an email for an interview too. My biggest thing was safety for myself and my family.. We could not agree on it so I turned down the interview. I did not want to ruin my chance of any other job. Because I hear once u receive an offer and you decline you can't be offered again until the next school year. All the best to you and your family
I think you're making the right decision based on the right-for- your-family reasons. That said, all DoDDS teachers *must* sign the Mobility Agreement; have you considered what you will do if hired by DoDDS and subsequently face a Management Directed Reassignment, MDR, to an unpreferred location? If you think you'd instead resign first, then consid...See More

There is no transfer program for DDESS teachers so the quick answer is: not possible. There are however some ways to move from DDESS into DoDDS that for all practical purposes "look and act" like an official transfer, i.e. a gov't paid transfer with CONUS-hire benefits/recruitment incentives once at the DoDDS location, for example: 1) You...See More

The closest I have come is taking LWOP due to serious medical reasons (my own). In my situation I was only able to keep my LQA because I was able to maintain at least one pay status day per pay period (e.g. worked, sick day, etc). If my time had run out and I was not able to go back (and no one donated more) then I would have lost LQA.

Only DoDDS teachers and other DoDDS certifieds receive the annual retroactive pay adjustments. This is per the enabling legislation for determining salaries for DoDDS teachers; in a nutshell, DoDDS salaries are based on the annual survey of teachers'/etc' salaries in all U.S. districts which have more than 100,000 students enrolled.

That was for DoDDS only as described by Reality Sheriff.
The FEA letter clearly states "DoDDS:"
"posted May 19, 2016 The retroactive pay adjustment due to
DODDS employees as a result of FEA's victory in the March
Case should be included on the LES for the current pay
period. Please check your statement carefully...See More

I believe (pending technical input/corrections by the Sheriff) that SS is deducted at the usual amount (6.2&37;).
As for FERS/TSP, I confess to being hazy on the details (I have to re familiarize myself with the specifics whenever I consider making a change).

Official passport Visa Fingerprints Background check
haha
Well, GENERALLY, those are all things that need to be done before you travel. The passport and visa (if needed for your destination) in order to travel and fingerprints and background check to receive your orders (which you need to travel). I have heard of people traveling before receiving their official passport but it is rare.
