Common use of Alternate Deadhead Clause in Contracts

Alternate Deadhead. a. When the first scheduled segment of a trip is a deadhead to duty, a Flight Attendant may request to utilize transportation from an alternate location to the duty point. Such transportation may not be more costly than the transportation originally arranged. b. When the last scheduled segment of a trip is a deadhead, a Flight Attendant may request to be released from duty prior to the scheduled deadhead. Unless Crew Scheduling has a specific flight assignment to give the Flight Attendant at the time he or she arrives at the deadhead point, such request will be granted. If a Flight Attendant is given specific travel arrangements by Crew Scheduling at that time, the Flight Attendant may not deviate from this plan. c. When the scheduled deadhead segment is to or from training, a Flight Attendant may request to utilize transportation to or from an alternate location. Such request shall be granted provided it does not interfere with a previously scheduled assignment. Such transportation may not be more costly than the transportation originally arranged. d. A Flight Attendant who is authorized alternate transportation as stated above shall receive the pay and credit for the deadhead for which he or she was originally scheduled. e. A Flight Attendant may waive non-FAR duty and rest provisions in order to accomplish his or her requested deadhead to or from duty.
