If a pilot scheduled for a nonstop deadhead over 16 hours
on duty, who is not booked in first class, deviates from the
scheduled flight in order to obtain first class on another
carrier, the following shall apply:

What's your point? How many times do you think we are actually going to see DH's with over 16 hour legs?
Now if you want to discuss the Ultra Long Haul override that doesn't kick in till after 15 or so, that's another discussion. Other than MEM-HKG in the winter, can we really expect to ever see an over 16 leg in our system form?
My point is if you deviate on a over 16 hr DH you can in fact book on another carrier to get First class and that amount then becomes your bank.
