UAX DH problems
Question for all UAX carriers.
At my company, if they need to DH you somewhere to start a trip, you are positive space. However, if your trip ends in a DH back to base, you're on standby. Our contract says they have to positive space us, but it has been explained to me that this is a UAL policy. Any others experience this?

of course its TSA. Im going to bring this up for the union to look into. What you guys are telling me is that without a doubt, you are positive space to end a trip with a DH? i dont want to look like an idiot bringing this up to the union and it in fact being a UAL policy. they've been doing this for a while now and its such B.S. you fulfill your obligations to the company the least they should do is guarantee you get back to base. unacceptable...

At SkyWest when on a DH they can list us must ride or positive space. Must ride when going to a flight assignment and positive space when going home. Positive space isn't really that. If the flight is full with revenue passengers they can bump you to a later flight. I've had this happen several times in Denver with our own equipment and mainline. Calls to crew support and the MOD did nothing to change the situation.
