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??
I just did a two hour deadhead in the middle seat because the plane was boarded when we got there. Last leg of the day (leg 5) or I would’ve fatigued before the next flight.
