You're correct, If you buy the ticket using the deviation and deadhead section of VIPS (orange boxes associated with the
specific deadhead leg you're deviating), then you can't buy the deviation ticket without cancelling your scheduled ticket and officially deviating.
However, if you want a deviation ticket while still retaining the scheduled ticket and not deviating until closer to the deviation deadline you have two options:
1. Call Global Travel and book the deviation ticket you want.
2. Select another orange box (last leg of a front DH trip, first leg of a back DH trip or even a non-DH leg from a completely different trip). You can alter the city pair and dates to what you want and use the online system to buy your ticket without deviating. This is because you're not selecting the orange box for the actual deadhead leg, therefore the system will not deviate you.
