So I picked up this trip that ends day one in base. The following day (day 2) is a dead day. Flying continues day 3. I was planning to travel on the dead day. This shouldn't be an issue right? I mean I know it's not DFP, but it's a dead day in base. So if scheduling calls me I'm not obligated to answer right?

Another point of contention, I don’t think the commuter policy will apply to your situation. If you can’t get back for work, even with two options, you’ll be screwed.
Please all... learn when you are required to answer your phone and screen your calls. You really can get screwed by simply answering the phone even when you aren’t required to, as ridiculous as that may sound.

Correct me if I am wrong but simply calling them and telling them you are no showing the deadhead would cover his bases as long as he is there for the next flight.

To clarify, there isn't a deadhead. It's a dead day. I fly Thursday, but Friday is a dead day and then I continue flying Saturday. But ive never seen a dead day in base, so I was trying to clarify if I was actually required to pick up if CS calls.

Just talked to the union rep. Said I am good to travel and not required to pick up if I am called. Arguing For a commuter policy in chance I am not able to make it back to base in time for the rest of my flying is about a 50/50 chance he said. I plan to use D1's and have several flights lined up. The only thing in my HI1 for the dead day is "RON" whatever that means..
