FX Deviation Question
I can't seem to find a definitive answer in the contract about this - if I have $400 in my deviation bank and I get assigned a new deadhead, can I use that bank money to upgrade a class, and if so, do I need to deviate to do it? Thanks for a quick response.

For example the scheduled may not have a 1st class segment. But you can deviate and use extra bank money to schedule 1st class on another airline if your DH meets contract requirements.

Naw, front end DH to LAX, layover, then a 3-leg with an IND hub turn in there. Finding out lots of new twists I've never seen these days as far as what we can and can't do...thanks for the thought!

LAG's right on this one. I'll usually deviate on AA through DFW (over 5 hours, so ...) to the east coast and my bank usually covers the upgrade
