I know Delta caps your credit but you can exceed that picking up trips from the trade board. And are able to aggressive pick up on reserve and that goes on top of your guarantee. Right?
Monthly credit is not capped. You are NOT allowed to pick up open time unless within the "aggressive pickup window" which is basically the morning before the trip. Anything flown goes to your line credit value and if that does not exceed guarantee than you get nothing "extra". I found it exceedingly difficult to make more than MPG while on reserve with the exception of a couple extra hours for picking up short calls.
