We deadheaded home the next day and when I called skeds to get my day off restored - I found that their interpretation of the rules are that because we deadheaded, no reassignment rules apply for day off restoration! Wow! It took me a couple hours of searching these 500 pages to come up with NOTHING in concrete, to say that I am due the day off. There is not even a definition of the term reassignment! Defining terms in any agreement is fundamental. Well, it must keep some lawyers in work. I will be working on this next week. The futures scheduler ( this is new too) was very nice in explaining how her bosses interpret what constitutes the requirement for restoring a day off. BTW, this is a 757.
Just had EXACTLY the same scenario. No restoration for me either, confirmed by ALPA. That was a shocker to me as well
