Just to clarify, if you are a line holder you do not need permission to deviate front end, you only need to inform within 24 hours. A reserve pilot must get permission.

edit: btw, check out the top of page 16 of the scheduling reference handbook in regard to taking a different flight. I'm pretty sure you're legal and covered if you comply with sections 8.E.8 8.E.5 of the contract. The contract is the contract, it doesn't matter how important the flight is. If you comply with the contract then you should be covered if the unexpected occurs.
