One of the recurrent documents seemed to indicate travelnet should be used. I'm not allowed to modify the reservation the company made for me, however.
In the past, you called the XCM desk to change the reservation, and they made the change for you in about 15 seconds. Apparently, the XCM desk has been closed now that we can book our jumpseats online. (I guess they are ignoring all the other stuff the XCM desk did... but I digress).
I've heard that crew scheduling is now doing the XCM desk's job - so, I'd first try the XCM desk in case I have my info wrong (you can reach it through the 1-800-DAL-CREW menus) and if no one answers, call scheduling.
But yes, it is perfectly fine to change the travel to/from sim training to your home airport.
