slowplay,

Could you answer a contract question for me?(Or anyone who knows feel free to chime in)

I'm a reserve FO, and was assigned a 3 day tomorrow. It's an out of base trip, so a DH was built on the front and the back. I was hoping to do an off rotation DH at the end of the trip. I saw this



9. A pilot who utilizes an off-rotation deadhead at the end of a rotation will be responsible
for his transportation
.
Exception one: A pilot who utilizes an off-rotation deadhead to travel to his base at the
end of a rotation, prior to his scheduled deadhead, will be provided positive space on-line
transportation if sales are authorized at the time of his attempted booking.
Exception two: A pilot who utilizes an off-rotation deadhead to travel to a domestic
airport (other than his base) in the vicinity of his permanent residence at the end of a
rotation will be provided positive space on-line transportation if:
a. sales are authorized at the time of the attempted booking,
b. the routing does not pass through the pilot’s base,
c. the routing does not exceed the number of deadhead segments scheduled, and
d. the flight segment(s) departs:
1) prior to the originally scheduled deadhead, or
2) on the same day as the originally scheduled deadhead.
Exception three: A pilot deadheading under Section 8 E. 9. Exception one or two may
attempt his booking at any time after the report of his rotation.


So if I'm interpreting this correctly I should get a PS pass from MEM to my commute airport so long as it meets the requirements(which is does), but crew scheduling told me they couldn't do it because the flight I want to take is an RJ. Is there an LOA or exception I missed? Is this accurate? Should I not get a PS pass to the airport of my choosing?

Answers appreciated.
