deadhead flights annually (estimated)
Airlines routinely fly pilots and crew as passengers, called deadheading, to position them at airports where they are needed for upcoming flights.
Penjelasan
Deadheading is a standard part of crew scheduling logistics. An airline might fly a pilot from New York to Chicago as a passenger so they can operate a Chicago to Los Angeles flight. Deadheading crew members often sit in the cabin in uniform, occupy jump seats in the cockpit, or are assigned regular passenger seats. The practice is invisible to most travelers but is essential for keeping airline schedules operating smoothly.
