The policy needs to change for the better to catch up to others.
Going into the weeds on the details, but you can have some protection on double deadhead trips if you meet with any portion of the scheduled deadhead. Say the company has scheduled MEM-DFW-SAN on AA and you live in OKC for example. If you book OKC-DFW-SAN using the same leg as they did from DFW-SAN you are protected once you get to DFW. I’ve been able to use that far more than I thought I would when it first came about.
