  1. When I was overdue with my first son (2 weeks and 2 days!), I went in to a baby boutique to pass the time - I think at that point I was a full two weeks overdue. Anyway, I mentioned it to the cashier as I was checking out and she said, reallly?? You're pregnant??? I just thought you were fat!! Unbelievable!

  2. Yes, Happy, but since the crew was traveling together, I would assume that they were not deadheading to a destination to commute to work, but to actually see to an already in progress flight that needed a crew due to cancellation of its previous crew. My husband used to commute to his work, but he wouldn't do so with his flight crew - commuters can live anywhere, so the likelihood that all 4 crewmembers just happened to all book last minute to commute to a job is unlikely.

     

    The crew would not be put in the jump seat to go to work on that flight, I believe, due to work rules. There are certain rules in place by the union to ensure crew rest even in the case of needing to be deadheaded to a location to carry on the next flight.

  3. I don't know how to link an article on Facebook, but if you have more questions about the flight crew "deadheading" to their job, please search this article on FB " I know you're mad at United (thoughts from a Pilot wife about flight 3411"

     

    This is a great article about the airlines and explaining the position the flight crew is in. I am married to an airline pilot - this was not the flight crew's fault. They are going to their job. They can't simply "drive to the other airport." There Obviously was a reason that crew needed to make it to that destination. - such as the original flight crew being over on hours by a delay or a host of other reasons.

     

    Also, tickets are definitely a contract. And in that contract is the ability of airlines to pull that ticket if needed.

     

    Please read the article.
