One time they just non-revved me, today I almost missed the flight until my boarding pass magically showed up. I know to "activate" for normal on rotation deadheads, but I am lost here.
Not sure if you've been doing this or not, but when you check in at the kiosk your reservation is found under
company business, not
crew travel.
I copied the following from Deltanet. You can get the entire instructions by searching "deadhead travel"
From FOM 4.1.1 - Deviations from Scheduled Deadhead
�� No permission is required for a regular or reserve pilot to deviate from deadhead at the end of a rotation, but Crew Scheduling must be notified as soon as possible after the arrival of the last non-deadhead leg.
�� Booking the reservation may be attempted any time after report at the beginning of the rotation.
Facts about on-line end of rotation deviation from deadhead booking:
Note: You must be signed in for your rotation to start the deviation process
�� Once you have completed booking your deviation from deadhead, you must cancel your original DH after arrival of the pilot’s last flying segment prior to your originally scheduled DH via VRU 800-325-2739 option #2, option #2, then option #3
�� When checking in at an airport kiosk after booking a deviation from deadhead, reservations will be found under “Company Business” not under “Crew Travel”
�� You may not book offline (non-Delta mainline) DH deviations. Even if your original DH reservation contained an offline DH, you must book your deviation flights on Delta mainline flights or call Crew Scheduling to coordinate DH deviation (see special notes on last page)
