If you are trying to get on an earlier flight anyway, the commuter policy guarantees you will get on your second one. There is no reason to put a hold on the jumpseat and prevent someone else from being able to use it who wants to use that flight as their first one.

This requires you to use the "Unable to commute" policy. Call-in-honest, which has different requirements, just prevents you from getting in trouble. You can use either one for a given trip, "unable to commute" requires that the second flight be a Delta branded flight for you to get positive space on while call-in-honest allows two flights from any airline.

Unable to commute is company provided while Call-in-honest is a contractual requirement.
Good explanation!

Agreed BobZ, we shouldn't have to subsidize the commuting choices others volunteer for. Ex: In-base parking is PWA costing commuters. NYC commuters are tired of subsidizing the parking passes of all
those minority in-base pilots. Can't you all just get dropped off or Uber? Ride a bike? Have you considered selling your home and uprooting your family somewhere else to facilitate flying in instead? It's just not fair that financial resources are diverted to those CHOOSING to drive automobiles to work. It would be much more in the spirit of fairness to eliminate paid parking in exchange for $0.001 bump to all payrates. Any language that keeps free parking for in-base drivers is a NO vote for me.
