The above information is incorrect. A flight may be on or offline both for the contractual policy posted below and for the flight ops policy to get PS.

commuting pilot who travels to his base by air will not be eligible for treatment under Section 23 Y. 2. unless he has attempted to travel on at least two flights (on and/or off line) that: a. show adequate actual seat availability within 24 hours of the departure, considering the pilot's seniority and the normal load factor of the flight; or, on which the pilot has a jumpseat reservation, b. are scheduled to arrive at his base at a reasonable time before his scheduled report, and are separated by at least two hours.
In regard to the unable to commute policy, per the FOM vol 1 dated 7 May 2015, Chapter 11 Section 5 page 11.5.1:

"Note: Both the primary and back-up flight must be on a Delta mainline or DCI carrier."


Edited since the original quote was all messed up, which made my quote look screwy. Also figured I'd play nice.
