Let me clarify ... 90% of MY deadheads are on Atlas planes. Some guys have made the gazillion mile platnum diamond club this year on Delta and United.
The deadhead situation is different for every base and even the lines within that base. Some bases deadhead very little. Some a lot. Some mostly on domestic airlines, some mostly on company, and some on foreign. For me, recently, it has been on our freighters.
And, yes, when it is full, it kind of sucks.
