Why are you interested? Who do you fly for? I know you and I don't for GoJet and that's enough, as far as I am concerned. My simple reponse to this silly post has generated ridiculous responses from the likes of Jetjock.

I do not agree with the Union of my airline banning Gojet pilots from Jseating on our airlines, but that's just my opinion. As far as I am concerned, any pilot trying to jseat on our aircraft are welcome unless they are rude or unprofessional towards our flight crew or passengers. Now this union policy makes it almost impossible for us to allow that same courtesy to GoJet pilots. Many pilots in our union btw also think nonunion pilots should be placed at the same level as GoJet pilots.

 

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.

 

of coarse, I would use them to get a ride home, they are still scum.

 

I was going to go further, but then I saw Mr. Al Bundy and decided otherwise. However, I would recommend FAA.gov if you're going to use definitions to correct somebody on this website. Otherwise, you come off like a complete fool. Also, if you need to look up definitions to correct somebody, maybe you shouldn't be doing the correcting anyway.

 

Ok everyone play nice I figured it out, Deadhead means

A Head that is Dead.. simple enough

1. That is a definition of deadhead and last time I checked most people use the dictionary for the correct meaning of something.
2. If there is some kind of modern 121 dictionary that I don't know about, by all means supply a link to the definition of deadhead. Also, what does sencerity mean? I know what sincerity means, but not sencerity. Is that another modern 121 word?

1. Please read back a couple pages to see how it all started. I was only correcting someone for "trying" to correct me. I merely stated my opinion on the subject and Emb170man felt the need to try and belittle me.
2. Whats wrong with Al Bundy?!!?!?!

 

So how exactly would the CA of the a/c I'm attempting to jumpseating on know my opinions about GoJet?

 

I know you don't work for GoJet and I never said you did. BTW, figuring out that I never said you worked for GoJet doesn't require the ability to read between the lines.

Good Day.

 

Most people are idiots. You're quickly showing that you fall into that category. Even though I swore to myself that I was done providing useful information on APF, I will attempt to clarify the meaning of "deadheading" for you:

When your airline flies you somewhere for work, that is deadheading. When I had to go to STL for my PC, my airline deadheaded me there. When I was sitting reserve and had to pick up a trip out of base, my company would deadhead me to join the crew and trip already in progress. Pilots are paid to DH and are must-ride passengers.
Jumpseating and non-revving, however, are done by pilots for pleasure travel or to get to & from work. Not only are the pilots not paid for this, they sometimes have to pay for the privilege. JSing and non-revving pilots fly only if there is a seat available for them, as opposed to the guaranteed seat provided to DHers.

As an example:
When I worked for Trans States, there were occasions when I was scheduled to deadhead on GoJet so that the company could get me in place for a trip. Regardless of my feelings for GoJet, I had to go and they had to let me fly. When it came to my personal travel, however, I never once flew on a GoJet plane (nor have I since leaving TSA). Had I asked to jumpseat on a GoJet flight, the captain would have had the opportunity to deny me a seat if he had a good reason. Of course, I would have simply non-revved with my UA benefits, but that's an entirely different discussion.

I hope this clears up the difference between DHing and JSing. In the future, I suggest you stay away from using online dictionaries to define terms that are industry-specific, as the definitions are usually not quite right - or just plain WRONG.

Don't forget, kids: "Deadhead" is also the name given to fans of the Greatful Dead.

 

So now this thread has descended into an argument about the definition of DEADHEAD? You all remind me of the old farts that used to sit at the member club bar where I went to college sipping $.45 beers and arguing about ANYTHING
