I thought I remembered an email/FCIF from JL in the past addressing this, but I couldn't find it anywhere for reference.....he was answering the question about 'what if I end up on the same flight with the rest of the crew and then none of us end up getting there on time?'.....I think he said in that particular case you wouldn't get spanked individually for initially deviating.....but don't quote me on that one - I couldn't find a copy of that one..
I occasionally sit in as the union rep for ACP counseling sessions and was told at one that "no ACP in this building will hang you out to dry" if you reconnect with the scheduled DH and it then goes into the tank. Having said that, he did not put it in writing, but he was preaching the reasonable man theory.
