Thanks. I think maybe the crew will be coming in from YVR possibly as the inbound is scheduled on time but蓉nless I have this wrong葉he overnight is too long for deadheading crew to not time out as it is about 7.5 hours, which includes the delay. It would be 6 without it. Maybe I知 wrong, but don稚 deadheading pilots start their duty day when they get on their deadhead flight? They値l get about 12 hours if they come in from YVR. The afternoon YYZ flight was cancelled, so I think that is probably when the crew was scheduled to fly in.
I知 more worried about the check in agents going by the old cutoff time vs the rescheduled time, and probably I知 being overly paranoid. But heck, regular FTers know these things better than I do so might as well check what people think.
Almost all the YQR staff have changed in the last few years, so one can no longer be guaranteed that they値l be sensible and/or remember you like they used to.
