Default Can you top this?

I work for the worst regional airline in America. I just finished a 14 hour duty day with 2 dead heads and 4 legs. I get paid a grand total of 4 hours pay.

Do you not get paid for Deadheads? That is absurd. I know XJT gets paid 100% for deadheads. Rightfully so...
I'd much rather be up front in that roomy cockpit than stuck in the back of a cramped 737 from EWR-IAH..
Who do you fly for and where are you based?

Yes I know, that question sounds like Arnold saying "Who is your daddy and what does he do?"

Default point taken (eom)

Yes, that tops it.

I fly for commutair. We do not get paid for deadheads. We have no work rules beyond the FAA legal requirements. I get 9 days off a bid while on a reserve line. Its better than being furloughed, but not my much.

Well, keeping to being employed. I had a 4 day over Christmas that paid 17 hours. 5 flying legs, 4 deadheads with a 5+ hour sit in DTW on Christmas morning...... Crew planning didn't deserve coal but flaming poop in the stocking for building that pairing.

Also, furloughed. You should get paid for deadheads. That should be in everyones contract. Bottom line.
