Rookie question--deviating from deadhead. Rotation starts with a deadhead tomorrow morning for no reason. I'd rather go later in day. I booked a jumpseat....is there a way I can move my positive space seat to a later flight? Is my only option to js in later?
Thanks
Thanks

You can book PS as long as it is showing seats on TN under CO BUS. You can book upto 14 days prior FYI. Call scheds and let them know you are deviating within 24 hours from start of rotation.

Also if you are new and don't have it, download Scheduling Reference Handbook to your phone. It's all in there.

Anyone know of where to get a charger for the surface tablet? I left mine in Mex City. I stopped by staples..special order, ...online searched Best Buy, no luck as there seems to 40 million hits but they all seem to be for a Surface 3....this tablet seems to be obsolete. Got a trip tomm and don't have time to order one. Thought I might find a universal one maybe somewhere...
Any suggestions? Also can we plug in a USB cable to the port and charge it that way?
Thanks..

If your are by a CPO, Call the Help Desk (888-714-0529). Those metal boxes that are usually around/ outside of the CPO have chargers, tablets and keyboards. The help desk can tell you the code to open the box and then take what you need. Remember to fill out the sheet that is in the box too.

EDIT:
I have read the handbook but it leaves quite a bit to be desired. It says once I hit the guarantee I won't be on call anymore. But what if I'm in the middle of a trip, do I have to finish it? Could scheduling give me a 5 day 30 hour trip if I was 1 minute below reserve guarantee?
The handbook spoke about GS pay but I couldn't decipher it. Assuming I fill up, am I paid for a GS the same way a line holder would be paid a GS?

If the original flight had a backup then if you wish to fall under commuter protections the DD flight needs a backup as well. It sounds like you're trying to take the backup that scheduling built-in to your rotation. Fine if you make it to work on time, your @ss if the later flight cancels or is delayed and you are late for your trip.
Mike I think you are mistaken on your deadhead deviation info. Might want to look that one up.
Actually, just looked it up. Only requirement is to arrive a reasonable time prior to your flight and to notify Scheduling 24 hours prior as a regular line holder. Reserve guy actually has to get permission from scheduling. Page 15 of Delta Pilot Scheduling hand book cover front end deviations.

If the originally scheduled DH had a backup, then you are expected to have a backup if you deviate. If the original DH didn't have a backup, then you are not required to plan for one when deviating.
