Um......dead·head [ded-hed]–noun
1.a person who attends a performance, sports event, etc., or travels on a train, airplane, etc., without having paid for a ticket, esp. a person using a complimentary ticket or free pass.
I guess you should give dictionary.com a call and make sure they have seen a jet before they come up with outrageous definitions like this.
That is not the correct definition of a deadhead as used in modern 121 operaitons.
I mean really...your source is dictionary.com ...I could go further...but that isn't needed. In all sencerity...Good luck in class, just remember...you have a LOT to learn.
