Get paid to skip deadhead?
 

Hey folks,
I'm trying to figure out what the industry standard is for pay when you skip a deadhead. Let's say you live in an outstation and the first leg of your trip is a deadhead from the hub to where you live. So you skip the deadhead and pick up the trip in the outstation where you live.

When they take money out of your paycheck when you skip, its just ridiculous. If anything, skipping a deadhead helps save the company hundreds of dollars on oversold flights, because it would let more passengers on. It would also make the customers happier, etc.

At your airline, do they nickel and dime you and take away the pay when you skip a deadhead?

At RAH, they "fake" the deadhead and you still get paid for it.

I get paid.

Who do you work for?

At PSA they pay you for the DH at the end of a trip back to base, not the one starting out.

I'm at eagle

Who do you work for?

SKW pays for DH whether you take it or not. They do want you to cancel in advance if you're not going to use it. Also gate agents like it if you check in online in advance if you are going to use it...otherwise the gate is left guessing until the last second as to whether they can re-assign that seat to a STBY.

9e we get paid.

Legacy ASA EV gets paid

Speaking of DH's.

Who gets paid less than 100%?

RAH is only 75% of scheduled block
