Depending upon how the boxes are checked, your Scheduled GT in LAX may, or may not be canceled.

As Adlerdriver has attempted to point out, numerous times, once you arrive in DFW you can accomplish your Final Check-in and you are then protected if something goes awry with the DFW-LAX leg.

Again, as Adlerdriver has attempted to point out, CRS is more than happy to shuffle the solution off to Us since we've Deviated on the 1st leg. And, if you're ignorant of the CBA, they get away with it.

It's not rocking boats, it's not jeopardizing anything, it's complying with our Contractual requirements.
