good ole' trans states. if you know your contract well enough, usually you can get them to put you on positive space. see our contract says we have to be positive space, but it doesn't specify which level (i dont know how many levels there are). so the company puts us positive space with some kind of level attached to it, which really only gets us ahead of nonrevs, not revenue. pretty $hi!!y huh? yeah. now, with that being said, if you know your contact and know the max duty day after a reduced rest overnight or your near your max nights away from base (differs based on whether or not ur a line holder or on reserve) or something, and these things factor into them having to get you home, then they will put you positive space. it shouldn't be a hassle, but thats the kind of scumbags we have runnin this joint.

If you are going home and they aren't benefiting from you anymore, no positive space. I've been left in Chicago before on a company assigned deadhead. We're just property, not people.
If you need to be in position and a deadhead flight is needed to get you there, then you will have a seat, even if it is the jump seat.

The jumpseat should exist to get pilots to and from home and work on their own time (commuting).
