Yup already have that at JB and unless there is a current catastrophe happening (ie cancellation package being processed) approval cannot be withheld…. You just punch a button on on you iPad and a few minutes later it gets approved, for that matter you can get it processed weeks in advance if you like.
Either way, you're not expected to have any obligations upon reaching your DH origin station.

I think you're talking about "self deadhead" which is just notating your release from the trip at the DH station. "Alternate deadhead" is a different clause which provides online positive space in lieu of your original DH booking.

Reserves need to call to get released from the tail end? Yikes. That's not common sense except maybe in the regionals. At JB a reserve is treated by line-holder work rules from time of trip assignment until their next RAP.

In short as a reservist at JB we would be appalled at the suggestion anyone would have to call and “hope” they get released off a tail end DH. “Consent shall not be withheld” (unless they are chewing through a cancellation package or you have a pending modification at the time you make the request).

Ever since the ALPA National president called delta no voters “rocket surgeons” to their 2015 TA, I’ve seen it used quite a bit in these parts. It’s like rocket science, but with a bit more sarcasm.

I still think we should have “rounds” of DTZ so the bottom guys get some too. We (JB) already run these three rounds for add/drop/trade, so implementation is already in place and working…
First round - drop to 50 by seniority, if grids are green.
Second round - drop to 25 by seniority, if grids are green.
Third round - drop to zero, first come, first served.

I always say rocket surgeon, have for years. It makes me laugh, don't care if it amuses anyone but me. It's mixing up rocket science and brain surgeon. Some say "it's not rocket science" and some say "it's not brain surgery". I say it's not rocket surgery.
