Dogs and cats living together…mass hysteria!

Bid away from those trips if it keeps you up at night.

I agree I don’t like DH either. But I’m saying it not any worse than a DH.

Still trying to find where I get “credited as if I were flying it”. I’ll keep looking. 🤔

on your schedule...

when I did a surface DH from MIA to FLL I got exactly 1 hour of pay for mine. Maybe they just don’t like you.

8.C.2
When the Company requires that deadheading be by surface transportation, a pilot will be paid and credited with one hour of flight pay and credit at his applicable rate for each two hours of scheduled surface deadhead time computed on the basis of AAA mileage at 43 miles per hour.

okay so that just proves my point. You get paid for a surface deadhead...not sure what you were trying to get at.

no filler needed for CinoDeMayo.

how is that any worse than if it were a 4:15AM show to start the day off with a MCO-FLL hop?

I guess what I’m trying to say is. You still get credited for it as if you were “flying it”. It’s no different than doing a short 1 hour flight... Plus you are sitting in the back of the limo not doing any work.

Try again. Dual Input has the contract language. I can't spoon feed it any easier; it is not the same pay. Just because management hasn't calculated the FLL-MIA drive, doesnt mean it wont change to be contractually compliant eventually.

Remember back in 2018 when we were paid block or better per leg? And then they changed the software to be contractually compliant to pay block or better per duty period? Or were you not here then?

Dudes, we have our own Dr of Deadheads on this board. Why not just ask the ask the expert?
