Good to be on the lookout for.

Had travel bank in Dec 2018. Finished a revenue trip EWR-MEM midnight Christmas Eve. Used travel bank to buy a ticket home Christmas morning. Bought upgrade to economy plus.
If someone said “company bought personal ticket” to me, I would think they were talking about a ticket for total personal use that they purchased through the company for travel outside of 3-days from a trip (which I don’t think is allowed).
The ticket you purchased in Dec to get home from MEM is still considered a deviation ticket and is no different than any other deviation ticket.

No idea what a “commercial deadhead” is unless they’re trying to imply “scheduled commercial deadhead”. Because our deviation flights are still considered a deadhead and they’re “commercial” too.
Regardless, there is no such restriction on seat selection fees. In fact, the only reference to seat selection fees in the entire contract is in section 8, Deviation Options and Qualifying Expenses. If it’s listed under allowable deviation expenses, then it’s certainly not restricted as they attempted to do.
