FDX - First-Class Deadhead Deviation Question
Hi Folks,
Does anyone know if I can book a first-class deviation ticket even if the original pairing's deadhead is booked in coach? The original pairing deadheads from SFO to MEM (non-stop, less than 5 block hours), however I want to book from SFO to the east coast (greater than 5 block hours). Here's the catch, the deviation flight has a connection, thus the total block is > 5 hours, but each leg is < 5 hours.
From the CBA:
A class of service higher than coach shall be authorized if:
a deadhead exceeds 5 scheduled block hours;
Thanks!

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?

Sounds like somebody needs to get a tripmanager account and take corporate travel out of the loop. I haven't talked to those guys in 3 years - it's a beautiful thing.

Should the deviation back end deadhead count towards the duty time?
Thanks.
