If for example, your deadhead is just MEM-DFW-LAX and you want to deviate on the MEM-DFW leg, you'll still lose both legs if you deviate. We should be able to deviate MEM-DFW and then pick up the second leg DFW-LAX, as scheduled. It used to be that way under the previous contract.
I disagree. That would require global travel to book two completely separate reservations. One booking from MEM-DFW and then another booking DFW-LAX. That'll never happen because it would cost more and create more headaches and problems than the actual benefit.
The only 'legal rest' period that is requires is to be in position 12 hrs prior to pick up time before a revenue leg.
