In the Sept bidback many of the 757 weekend layover cities were converted to Double DHs, with crews flying back to MEM early Sat afternoons.

Look closely at your pairing and check the layover time.

Many are very, very close to the contractual limit of 8 hrs domestically.

IAW the CBA this cannot be reduced at all.

(Note: Domestically, min scheduled layover is 10+15, reducible to 9+00 operationally --- except when the layover proceeds a DH. Then scheduled & operational layover minimums are both 8 hrs)

If the Fri night sort goes late, be sure to double check your Sat morning block-in time to ensure you're afforded the minimum 8 hour layover.

It does not matter whether you plan to deviate home, or in fact already submitted a back end DH request.

You are still authorized GT to the hotel, the hotel room, and the 8 hour min layover time to combat cumulative fatigue.

Call the schedulers and have them rebuild the pairing IAW the CBA, to include the new backend DH flight to MEM.

Depending on the size of the airport, that flight may not be available until much later in the evening, or even the next morning.

Your freedom to deviate does not change, but the Credit Hour value of your trip most likely will --- with a portion at draft, due to your extension in the field.

Fly Safely....Legally...Reliably...Well Rested...and always IAW the CBA.

In Unity,
