Good advice from Tony. Especially important are backend deadheads (for those not deviating.) Since they are typically on TAFB pay pairings, every 4 minutes the DH is delayed, you earn another minute of pay, so if it's a significantly late arrival, call scheduling and let them know about it. As I live in MEM, when I do that, my deviating crew gets the extra pay, too.
