a. Deadhead travel shall be booked in coach class unless a higher class of service is authorized.
b. A class of service higher than coach shall be authorized if:
i. a deadhead exceeds 5 scheduled block hours; or
ii. a deadhead is included in a single duty period exceeding 11:30; or
iii. the scheduled block hours of a revenue flight plus the scheduled block hours of a deadhead in a single duty period exceed 8 hours. However, if a domestic duty period does not exceed 11:30 and a deadhead within that duty period does not exceed 1:30 (OAG) block, the deadhead may be scheduled in coach.
I've used all three and are vary valuable for commuters! Just a couple of gotchas if being new to the game. Travel banks are specific to training and the line. So if you have a bank while on IOE, you can't use that money once you are released to the line. Also parking is limited to $100 a bid period regardless of how much you have in your bank. So if you go over, you eat it. If you are gonna go over and have the coin, get a livery service, or just do that from the start.

Thanks for the info. I will be digging into the CBA to better understand all this.
Appreciate the help and the welcome. Great to finally be here.
