For about the 50th time at CommutAir, we're pushing to get deadhead pay credit. Right now, deadheads are unpaid -- the per-diem clock ticks, but that's it. (At the same time, we're hearing that because our bids are all under guarantee, we're getting paid more than we work anyway, which isn't really true when you factor in the deadheads, checkride orals, etc. We just want credit for the work we're doing, and as I'm sure we all know, deadheading IS work.)
In any case, the rumor now is that the powers-that-be don't believe that other airlines really pay their pilots to deadhead. (Keep in mind this is the place where the owner had never heard of longevity pay, either, so we're paid by years in each seat, not at company.) So we need to provide examples.
Obviously I know many companies credit either partial or full flight pay to deadheading pilots
If your company pays for deadheads, could you please respond and let me know which company, and how much you're credited or paid for the deadhead?
Thanks in advance.
