This situation is about a change in the pairing to provide a "legal" crew rest prior to the original scheduled deadhead. Your operating leg gets in 2 hours late - the company still has to show contractual crew rest prior to the deadhead.

It doesn't matter if you are deviating or not - the company is still required to build or rebuild a legal pairing.
