Yes, night dead heads have stopped. There are still some day dead heads. The bidding and swopping was stopped because of system abuse. Another system was introduced assigning flights fairly disregarding seniority. Safer in my opinion as you won't have a new captain and a new FO flying into the night to Russia in snow or to India at night in the monsoon season. We now have more experienced guys doing more of these flights and not just the cushy European layovers. Off day bidding returns from 1 November.
