So far I have called travel and asked to cut out the first leg of the deadhead. I thought they would just cancel the first leg, but I still have two sets of tickets. Do I call travel to cancel the first set? If I do it on line I believe that will kick me into deviation status which I do not want to do.
Last question...how and when do I check in for the trip since I will not be taking the flight out of MEM?
Thanks for the help from a new guy with a 5 million employee number.
The new contract allows a deviation with a final check in to join the scheduled enroute. (I would ask specifically of CRS or your Fleet Captain when this is implemented though.)
You still deviate the first leg only. You have to buy a new, deviation ticket from your intermediate connection point though. You do your initial deviation checkin as normal. But, when you are at the gate for your scheduled connecting flight (in your case, the first leg from HOR) you perform your final check in. At that point you are now scheduled and protected just like you were on scheduled transportation. Your GT would still be there to the hotel.
