Scenario #1: CBA 16.G.1-9

Q: I am based in LAX. The first leg of my sequence is a deadhead from LAX-PHX, and I live in PHX. May I waive the deadhead and pick up the trip in PHX?

A: Yes, you may choose to join the trip in PHX, provided you:

• Notify Crew Scheduling at least two (2) hours prior to the scheduled deadhead;
• Notify Crew Scheduling upon your arrival at the downline station (or if you are already in the downline station, inform Crew Scheduling of this at the time you request to waive your deadhead);
• If the scheduled deadhead is to a layover city, then the Flight Attendant is also responsible for her/his own transportation to the layover hotel. The Flight Attendant will also be responsible for any additional hotel charges due to an early hotel arrival;
• Be ready to receive passengers on the first live leg according to the provisions of Hours of Service, Section 11;
• Be paid and credited for the deadhead as if the Flight Attendant had flown the original scheduled deadhead;
• Be paid Per Diem and duty rig as if the Flight Attendant had flown the original scheduled deadhead; and,
• Contact Crew Schedule as soon as possible when encountering any unanticipated delays which would affect her/his arrival at the downline station.
• A Reserve who has been released consistent with the parameters of Reserve Duty, Section 12, may utilize these provisions.

• Notify Crew Scheduling
• Receive positive space travel from SFO-PHX under the same pass classification.

• A Flight Attendant at a co-terminal with a deadhead leg(s) at sequence origination may request to have the deadhead originate at a different co-terminal.
• Contact Crew Scheduling as soon as possible to make the request.
• Legalities and pay will be based on the originally scheduled deadhead.

The provisions of Paragraph G.11 and G.12 will not apply if the scheduled deadhead is on offline air transportation (e.g., new service or seasonal start up). A sequence with scheduled offline air transportation may not be traded in ETB or TTS/UBL within forty-eight (48) hours prior to sequence report. (CBA 16.G.15)

If a Flight Attendant who takes an alternate deadhead, as provided by the Company, from their commuter city or co-terminal is unable to be positioned for the first live leg due to a cancellation or delay, at the Flight Attendant’s option, they will be split on to their original sequence or other offered flying unless Crew Scheduling determines it is impracticable to do so. If split on to the sequence or the offer of other flying is accepted, the Flight Attendant will be pay protected in accordance with 10.J.10. If the Flight Attendant is not split on to the original sequence or other flying, they will not be pay protected but will be able to pick up flying as provided for in Section 10 of this Agreement. (CBA 16.G.17)
