Basic economy Deadhead
So due
to the new dr. Dao rules for dead heading crew what happens when you get a non economy plus seating assignment on a full airplane to a duty assignment? Oh yeah, flt time over 3 hrs.

Or accept the seat and the voucher for a future FC seat.

They will offer a stupid sum of money for volunteers to get you in a compliant seat or you should take the next flight with a compliant seat. My experience was EWR - YYZ on an oversold 50 seater and the offer was enough for both of the two crew members to buy a 5 yr old Honda Civic and drive canonball run style. The next flight was also oversold. A limo one way was 2000.00, a rental car was $300, and they spent 5 times the limo buying two seats and created a whole heap of drama that does not look good in a crowded boarding area. The people managing these situations aren't good decision makers and they are afraid to think outside the box.

Do not board on an Econ ticket.. Period, plain and simple. No drama, no rashness needed, just politely wait until the airplane leaves then call the Crew desk so they can make new plans. The gate agents know the deal but like to play it off to see if you’ll board without them having to fix it. Don’t do it.
