Default Deadhead BS

Im getting tired of the domestic DH’s. I think we need some form of premium pay for this aggravation. Seems like almost every trip has them built into them now. I get that commuters like the front/back end deviation but most of the trips are mid rotation. Rant over

It's so damn hot in the back of these planes. Also, the baggage before customers works in the hubs, but is horrible at the outstations where they don't have the staff for it.

This should pay more.

Middle seat, basic economy on a Transcon.

I'm 6'4"

This isn't even remotely comfortable.

The gate agent let me down with first class. Captain let me stow roller up front.

It's being mitigated, but not by policy. Just actual people taking care of each other.

Asked for same in Detroit just today. DENIED. Boarded with Main Cabin 2 as I was in 29B. Almost last row 321. Middle seat.

The stupid comments from passengers just adds to the aggravation and should be reason enough for added compensation!

“Shouldn’t you be flying the plane?”
“Don’t you get First class?”
“What’s your route?”
Etc. etc. etc.

If you don’t need “extra time” to board, I suggest you look into it.

Also, what’s your route?

ACS Manual says DH crew will stow bags on board when possible and will board with Main Cabin 1 to ensure adequate overhead bin space.

FOM also says you “will” be assigned seat in PREM, SKY, or Zone 1, and then board with the assigned zone.

Being assigned a seat in zone 2 appears to me to violate the FOM.

Sir, we are going to need you to stow that thin black string on your lap either under the seat in front of you, or the overhead bin.
