And somehow....
Again, Feel free to not hold CRS feet to the CBA Compliance fire, as far too many of our pilots do. Pilots who are simply ignorant of the CBA or don't want to "highlight" themselves choose the go along to get along.
As for me....


So we do normally advise pilots to not check the second box if they’re anticipating meeting up with their scheduled deadhead. However, the contract only says that (loosely paraphrased) that when a pilot meets up with their scheduled deadhead and completes their Final Deviation Check-in, that they will no longer be considered as deviating. Therefore, even if a pilot were to have checked both boxes, and the flight were to delay/cancel then it is ALPA’s position that a pilot is no longer deviating, and Scheduling must revise the pilot’s schedule in a legal manner, and if that’s not what occurs, then we would be willing to go to the Company and fight that on the pilot’s behalf. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Ashley

My apologies,
follow up question for the Internet Idiots. Of whom I assume you deal with all too frequently. No earthly idea why someone thinks I can click One Box in the Deviation section of PFC and somehow retain the scheduled second leg

I don’t disagree with their answer to the question you asked because of the way you asked it. I thought the rub was on originally deviating from both legs (both boxes checked) and then joining the second original leg after that.

Please reply to them and ask this.

“What if I originally deviated from both legs and then, due to changes after the fact, I choose to join the second original leg. Can I accomplish my final check in prior to the second originally scheduled leg even though I originally deviated off of it?”

I predict you’ll get a different answer as they might be assuming you accomplished what they see as the proper way to do it and left the second box unchecked.

I hope I’m wrong but we’ll see.
