I recently researched this gem:
A pilot who deadheads by surface transportation between airport pairings not listed in Section 8 B. 3. will be paid $12.50 per hour of travel time, on a minute by minute basis.
$12.50 per hour for a surface deadhead???
Is that even minimum wage? The airplane cleaners make more. PATHETIC.
On the bright side, 3rd straight day I've flown a (different) plane with an inop APU.
Execs are making huge bonuses for Delta's profitability and performance (reading between the lines on SD's latest "update"). Meanwhile, we're sweating out bull**** like this.
Maybe one day we'll grow a spine and demand to be paid what we're worth.
