I’d like to drop the deadhead because I can commute 1 leg from where I end up.
Instead of doing that I would advise you call crew scheduling and tell them to change the deadhead to your commute base if its an AA flight. Its a newer policy. Otherwise yes you can call and ask them to drop it and yes you keep the original trip pay either way.
