I understand how the check boxes work. What’s your point? Are you saying that if I check both boxes that somehow means I can’t join the second leg of the deadhead and perform my Final Check-in because there’s a “$” by my name?
The only criteria I see in the CBA I need to meet in order to do that check-in is physically arriving at the departure gate for said DH leg. After that and my check in via VIPS or CRS, according to the CBA, I’m “no longer considered deviating”. There’s nothing in there about whether I have a “$” by my name.
I’ve done it on several occasions and it works great. Even got my GT back with one easy phone call to limo and catering.
“We’ve never done it that way” or “it’s always been this way” isn’t valid. Our CBA changed for the better. It’s a good thing - one of very few.
