"Well, the first leg of my first flight is underway, part of a 3 leg run from Shanghai to Chicago.....my question is, when I get to Chicago, in my mind, my next flight would be out of Chicago back towards my hub....so can I pick a flight out of another hub on the open board to fly back to AA? Also should we be flying these flights on the day and times written on the expanded view of the schedule or is that not enforced...some of the timings are a bit strange, for example leaving Anchorage at 1000 and arriving in Chicago at 2240....thats a long time for a 6hr ish flight....also are these times local or UTC? Im sure it says somewhere but cannot find it for the life of me. Thanks in advance"

Remember my message about it being "Finicky"
You get a VA discount for FSFK,it is much more reliable Mick
Also you can fly the Charters and Bids at any time within the Time Limit allowed for them provided the Date on the PIREP is correct, also we presume you thumb a ride back to your Hub, unless you can organize an Atlas Charter to take you back

All times are local. I checked PO718 and it seems that the departure time for PANC is incorrect. You should leave PANC at 1400 local (not 1000) and arrive at KORD at 2240 local. The flight lasts 5h40m and there is a 3h time difference between PANC and KORD. I corrected the schedule. Thanks for pointing that out. You can fly the flights whenever you want, but you need to set the date and time in Flight Simulator to match the schedule. You can pick any available flight from the open board to return to AA. Most likely, you would be deadheading back but that's up to you."
