Looking back at my credit versus block on an average trip (both summer and winter), I usually end up getting paid for about 5 hours per month that I didn't actually fly...our trip values and block times are inflated enough that it takes a significant number of IROPs to actually end up getting paid less than what you actually block...but maybe I'm just "an amateur"

If I vote no, it will have nothing to do with this issue or 75% deadhead pay...block-or-better and 100% deadhead pay would realistically only make a few dollars difference per month (if anything) in my paycheck...

And let's not forget--POSITIVE SPACE deadhead home on request (if it's on delta/delta conn.) at the end of the trip and/or no-questions-asked release from a dhd at the end of a trip??? That's worth the extra 25% pay to any commuter...
