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.
Agreed. I have no problem with reserves DH'ing to another base to cover a trip. That's the nature of the business. You're on reserve.
I do have a problem with our domestic DH language. If it's not improved in the next TA it's an automatic no-vote for me.
