Is it better to try to non-rev on Delta or jumpseat on one of the other options? From what I understand, as long as I do one of the other, I am entitled to the positive space on the next flight if I can't get on.
Please use it exactly as the contract requires, unless you are worried about delays due to Wx that could impact your pay and cause a call in honest event. Company does the bare minimum they are required to do by the contract (for example, only 15% of the reserve lines are long call even though contract says “at least 15%”), why should we do differently? Codomicile was a huge concession and this was one of the things given to us for it. It’s no surprise the company is seeing that we use more positive spaces than delta per pilot... we have more commuters (no one wants to live in nyc) and our priority for nonreving is Lower/we can’t book the jumpseat.
Regarding your question... they can’t positive space you on a AA or Spirit flight. Make one of those your first attempt and then have them ps you on DL.
