One of more common ones that I've seen are deadheads back to base. It has to be on first legal flight. I've seen a lot of rotations where deadhead back is third or fourth illegal flight. Most extreme was a 24 hour layover in CMH before deadheading back to ATL. Due to New York being 3 domiciles, they are required to ground transport you to another airport if it can get you back earlier.
