Deadheading from Flight Duty Clause Samples
The 'Deadheading from Flight Duty' clause defines the rules and conditions under which crew members are assigned to travel as passengers, rather than as active crew, to reposition for future flight duties. Typically, this clause outlines when deadheading is required, how it is scheduled, and what compensation or rest provisions apply to crew members during such assignments. Its core practical function is to ensure that crew are efficiently and fairly repositioned to meet operational needs while maintaining compliance with rest and duty regulations.
