Deadheading

Last night, we "deadheaded" from Houston, TX to Newark, NJ (New York City airport) so that we are in place to work the flight to Berlin, Germany today. Deadheading is what we call riding the airplane like a passenger to get us where UNITED needs us. It's part of our job and we get paid the same as if we were working the flight. It's kind of wierd to watch our co-workers do OUR job while we just sit there!

(Personally, I would rather be working! Sitting in an airplane seat for hours is not my idea of fun.)
