Have you been in any of our ground transportation? Do you understand the type of people that get hired for these jobs? Do you understand stand how they are compensated? Do you know how a van with half a million miles is maintained. Ground transportation either between airports or to layovers is by far the most dangerous part of our job. Bumper to bumper is slightly safer because speed is reduced but you get the bonus of car sickness instead.

Some of the outrageous driving I致e seen I知 amazed at how many pilots and FAs sit back and watch it happen without a peep to the driver to slow the hell down. I figure at least once a 4 day I知 telling a driver to slow down. Speeding in fog another lovely experience.

Throw in 8.C.2 below and I have zero interest in doing any surface DH. The ride to the hotel is risky enough.

2. When the Company requires that deadheading be by surface transportation, a pilot will be paid and credited with one hour of flight pay and credit at his applicable rate for each two hours of scheduled surface deadhead time computed on the basis of AAA mileage at 43 miles per hour.
