FDX: Partial Deviation
Anybody catch this in this week's FastRead?
Good stuff...
Did you know that due to a programming change you can now deviate per accepted fare or per ticket, as long as the deviation does not break an accepted fare or a ticket? For example if your trip is scheduled with a front-end deadhead MEM-DFW-LAX, legal rest period and then LAX-PVG, you can deviate MEM-LAX, and retain the LAX-PVG scheduled deadhead. Previously if you wanted to deviate on one leg, both legs would be cancelled. If you have any questions please contact Contract Enforcement

A good partial fix, but not complete. It appears that a legal rest period along the way is required.
If for example, your deadhead is just MEM-DFW-LAX and you want to deviate on the MEM-DFW leg, you'll still lose both legs if you deviate. We should be able to deviate MEM-DFW and then pick up the second leg DFW-LAX, as scheduled. It used to be that way under the previous contract.

The only 'legal rest' period that is requires is to be in position 12 hrs prior to pick up time before a revenue leg.

What they arbitrarily changed was automatically canceling the ground transportation part of the Scheduled pairing. A big deal in some cities.
