FEDEX: Deadheading out of Memphis = PITA
#11
He was probably chuckling because he was assigning you a trip regardless - due to "best fit" ahead of the "3 others" that had less leveling - because he could!! (nice try )

Speaking of best fit. Upgraded from right to left seat in the MD11 last fall. Sitting reserve in ANC over the winter put myself on first fly. What a joke I was number one for two straight months and never got assigned a trip due to best fit! Who the hell in the union signed off on this POS side letter! Totally makes first fly useless. As a commuter I want to get out of town, the locals do not want to fly. Due to best fit nothing is guaranteed when you are going to get called. A huge give back for reserves. I guess we gave it up for A380 pay!

Deviating doesn't mean one waives any legality in the subsequent layover or associated transportation to the layover hotel or access to the hotel room.
It just means, you waive the subsequent transpo back to the airport and the flight to Memphis
It doesn't matter if you head straight home or utilize the hotel and then head home, they are obligated to rebuild the pairing to CBA parameters
Too many guys are in a rush to DH /deviate straight out and don't take the time to call.
Make the call.... Pause... Then hit the deviate button
You only need to deviate 8 hrs prior on the backend and you will have at lest, if not more time when they rebuild the pairing to CBA requirements

If I have deviated, does the CBA require the Company to rebuild my trip if the scheduled deadhead is cancelled or changed by the airline?
No. We grieved (Administrative Grievances 02-15 and 02-16) this issue and appealed it to the System Board of Adjustment. On August 12, 2003 the Board denied the grievance on the merits, finding that the CBA does not require the Company to rebuild a trip for a deviating pilot.

Maybe we're talking about different situations, but from the ALPA website, CBA FAQ...

This situation is about a change in the pairing to provide a "legal" crew rest prior to the original scheduled deadhead. Your operating leg gets in 2 hours late - the company still has to show contractual crew rest prior to the deadhead.
It doesn't matter if you are deviating or not - the company is still required to build or rebuild a legal pairing.

That grievance was for a change in the deadhead after you deviate. If the original scheduled deadhead is now 5 hours late - you don't get extra pay a a deviator. The original pairing still met all contractual requirements.

On a fairly painful trip, at least for me (143/8Jul), so I looked up the other guys doing the trip this week. The trip is a DH to OAK followed by a CA NV tour. The guys a day behind were on reserve. They were put on a company jumpseat for the DH to OAK. My bank for the DH (MEM - OAK) with 30 days notice $889. Their (virtual) bank with <24H notice $386.
