The trainee pilot can interrupt this trial period at any time before the 30 day limit by choosing to:

become a full pilot and have access to all CARAVAIL activities.

or resign in the event that CARAVAILES does not meet its expectations.

• Each flight extends your exclusivity on the device by 10 days, unless you land on a HUB.

However, a pilot can borrow your aircraft from a stopover only with your agreement.

In this case, it is the borrower who takes over the exclusivity of the aircraft.

• You end your rotation by landing on a hub in the same flight sector,

thus you lose your exclusivity on the device, making it again available to all other pilots.

• If you forget a plane at an airport other than a hub.

If the aircraft remains stationary for more than 15 days, it will be transferred to its base without notice.

3.3 Fleet management

• TRANSFER

It is possible to transfer an airplane to the airport of your choice.

This option is only possible in the following cases:

CARGO

• Planes start and end their rotation (preferably) at a hub in the same flight sector.

This means that if you take a B737 in Atlanta, please do not leave it "preferably" on the Pointe à Pitre HUB in the CARIBBEAN, this creates an imbalance of the planes available on each HUB.

• A short / medium-haul EUROPE / CARIBBEAN / NORTH AMERICA / PACIFIC aircraft begins and ends its rotation at a hub in its flight sector.

Same explanation as above, a B737 which is taken at CASABLANCA and which ends its rotation at PARIS CDG created an imbalance of the planes available on each HUB.CARACLUB-VFR

• LONG-HAUL sector devices start and end their rotation on all of the company's hubs, with the exception of the CARACLUB-VFR hubs.

• Aircraft in the CARGO sector start and end their rotation at Paris CDG and Pointe à Pitre
