I also recently got to RDU early enough to make it back to ATL on an earlier flight that was open when my deadhead was oversold. I was approved for the alternate deadhead, which was better for me, the company and Delta, but under the new rules I would have lost the pay for the last leg. That, among other things, is unacceptable.
