Delta pilots who deviate from a scheduled deadhead segment(s) will be considered to have traveled as scheduled.

RG and the company are just doing all they can to collaborate with us on DDH issues
/sarcasm if that wasn’t readily apparent for some of you

Yes, you’ll see in my post that I said it locks to the scheduled DH time. I guess I should have clarified the original schedule, not any delayed “scheduled” departure time. So, for the OP assuming his DH was built and scheduled to block in at 2331 or later then he gets carve pay even if he DDH. If it was scheduled in at 2315 but shows delayed till 2345 he will not get carve as the DDH will lock back to the original schedule/pay. As others have said this is an impasse disagreement between the company and ALPA. I myself have a case lost in the abyss waiting for some resolution to this dispute.

And the Goodwill they squander by continually kicking the sand in our face, while gaslighting us with protestations like RG put out last week… Then wonder why we are salty. This is the slow fade for how it happens.

What if I told you there is a Mandela effect in play with what the pilot group thinks “has always happened” when you DDH and that iCrew has never been programmed to take a snapshot of your rotation when you deviate?
The deviate deadhead SnapBack to original scheduled times has always existed for the sake of capturing per diem calculations. Any old cases that the scheduling committee have found pertaining to deviate deadhead snapshot have not supported the claims people make on social media. However, there are obvious implications with the new soft pay items as well as some potential FAR issues that the company hasn’t dedicated the programming to fix.

Company put SC on my schedule, first day of a reserve block after a day I was not contactable and was not a no-fly day, so it wasn't legal. Then, right before the SC was about to "begin" (without notification), they removed it. They want to play these stupid games and disregard the contract, and I was happy to take the SCC if I wasn't used. Can they remove the SC like that, right before I was scheduled to start it? Haven't been able to find an answer.

2. You either call them to remove it, or they remove it themselves. They might have even begun to assign you a trip within the SC window and realized then that the SC itself was improperly assigned.
3. If you acknowledged it in MiCrew or iCrew, you probably would have had to work it. Did you acknowledge it?
