Which term means crewmember travel for duty at the direction of the company?

• A. Domicile
• B. Deadhead
• C. Charter
• D. Pressurization

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how crew movement terminology describes travel ordered by the company for duty. The term for crewmember travel when they’re moved to a duty location as a passenger, under the company’s direction, is deadhead. This means the crew member isn’t performing service on that flight; they’re simply being repositioned to another city to report for a trip or to return home after one. It’s about moving people for work, not about the flight’s actual service role.

Domicile refers to a crew member’s base or home base, where they’re assigned to report for duty, not the act of traveling for duty. Charter describes a flight operated for exclusive use, often contracted, and is not about crew repositioning. Pressurization is a technical aircraft system and unrelated to crew travel terminology.
