Over 5:00, block to block, or
If you are deviating in the same duty period as your last operating flt
and your duty period, including the deviation flight, is over 11:30, or
Your operating block hours plus your deviation flt hours, together, are over 8 block hrs...You are authorized to book 1st class.
Your bank will remain the same, regardless of what your deviation flights authorize you to do.

The operative word being, "authorized"
Memhubturn - I thought you were asking if you can simply apply leftover bank money to cover "unauthorized" first class expenses. The answer is to that question is still no.
