In what fantasy land do reserves get premium pay for deadheading to another base?!
What about trips in the bid packet that begin and end with deadheads to a hub, should those all pay premium pay too (for the line holders who are awarded them)?
Deadheading hub-hub at the beginning or end of a trip is a non-issue. A lot of commuters desire these type of trips.
We do need to improve deadhead language though. The fact that we have to book our own deadheads is sort of ridiculous. I'm sure all pilots could get behind deadhead improvements.
