As I understand it, the deadhead counts towards the duty day, correct.
I am operating from SLC to MEM, day hub turning, then on a different pairing operating to DTW, with a back-end deadhead.
I start my day at 1200Z in SLC (show time) and end up in DTW at 2213Z (block in). That's 9:13 duty. The deadhead I want doesn't get in until 0245Z the next day. That's 14:45 hours of duty time without a legal rest period.
When I called corporate travel to book the ticket in first class, the agent refused to do it, saying I didn't have 11:30 duty. I say I do...
Who's right?
