[QUOTE=zippinbye;2091503]What? Don't ask me to quote the PWA, because I am too lazy to look it up at the moment. But the only CP pilot involvement I have ever had with deviations between Asia and the U.S. was to force me onto a flight showing no availability (special personal circumstance). You also need CP or CS intervention to change a back-end deviation after booking it, but the pilot has total control to change with front end. Of course with the caveat of seat availability. I always get "C" when booking in Company Business myself. On the rare occasions it has not been available, I choose another city pair, my original DH, or the Radisson for a try another day. It's a bit different using the XCM menu to book the way home, but if availability showed under the Company Business field, you'll get "C" on the back end too. There's no time limit for booking the front end. Check you PBS award, book the deviation.

This last part is incorrect. You can only book 14 days in advance. The company booking will allow a earlier booking but it's not legal. Company is supposedly doing a audit because this is being abused. Let's not screw up a good deal and have the company force us to make all bookings through the CPSC.
Contract reference: A pilot who utilizes an off-rotation deadhead under Section 8 E. 8. may attempt his booking at any time within 14 days of the report of his rotation.
