When I was at endeavor, our second option was positive space, I believe delta is the same way.

I believe for DAL it’s basically the same process, you’re at the discretion of scheduling.

Pretty sure it’s contractual, not at the discretion of scheduling at Delta, but you’ll have to ask them.

Just looking at tomorrow, there are 6 flights TPA-MIA, half of them Envoy, one a 737, and the others 319s, which leaves you a total of 5 reservable jumpseats to work. There are 9 flights to CLT, all 321, which means you have 18 reservable jumpseats to work, to say nothing of the additional seats in the back of the aircraft. A sample size of one, I'll grant you, but I imagine the stats are similar throughout the year. MIA would grant you the ace in the hole of driving, though.

I think the idea of commuting to CLT could be a good one unless you like the drive. Now, once you can hold MIA 777, a whole other calculation.

It's a long standing FOM policy, but not contractual. If the backup flight is on Delta then scheduling can positive space the pilot.

That certainly doesn’t sound like “positive space commuting”. AA has the same provision and I have never seen it offered by the company.
