We don’t dh on offline carriers… only SW flights. Deadheaders are allowed to pre-board and choose whatever seat desired. In a perfect world its not an issue, but the problem arrises when there is a tight connection and pre-board is not an option. In that case it may or may not be a middle seat depending on how full the flight.

There needs to be language to address that situation. Maybe the ops agent informs the operating crew to block an aisle seat for each dh’er that is on tight connect?? Or additional pay if there is not enough connection time to pre-board??
