The depressing part of the Internet is how many people persist in their ignorance.
But I thought I'd ask CE too.
So, please-to all FedEx Deviants
Hold CRS accountable, make them comply with the Contract. Or, you can be like Pinseeker and allow them to get away with noncompliance.
Hi Kronan,
Thank you for reaching out to Contract Enforcement with your Final Deviation questions. If you meet up with a scheduled deadhead after deviating and complete your final deviation check-in per 8.C.1.d.iv., then you will no longer be considered as deviating, and if the flight delays/cancels, then CRS will have to revise your pairing and get you from DFW to where you are rescheduled to. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Good Morning,
As a deviant, it is my understanding that if I am able to join a leg of the originally scheduled deadhead and thus accomplish the Final Check-in that I shall no longer be considered as deviating. That I am no longer, on my own should that flight be cancelled.
There's some internet discussion that my understanding is incorrect.
As an example, say original scheduled DH is MEM-DFW-DEN
My deviation travel is BHM-DFW-DEN. I arrive at the gate in DFW and accomplish my Final Check-in. Subsequent to that, American Airlines has a lengthy delay and eventually cancels the DFW-DEN flight.
What happens to me then?
