There is no protection based on type of reservation. This obviously needs updated.

And what's even more absurd, is that if you read the pass traveler policy, you are prohibited from making a non Rev reservation if you held a reservation within 14 days same market, same date

It’s 7 days. And it’s to keep people from buying a ticket, seeing loads are good and then canceling to non-rev. Seems pretty reasonable.

Or to non-rev on a seat that was reserved for their ticket until just before the flight.

I'm not saying it's unreasonable. I'm saying if you bought a ticket to go to work and that flight cancelled, listing for a JS on the next flight if you complied with the commuter policy would be in violation of the pass travel policy

If that were the scenario, that would mean you were in compliance with the FOM policy by having a DL flight for a backup. Don’t take the JS from another commuter. Refund your canceled flight and then call scheduling and ask for a PS reservation on the backup.

I’m a firm believer that if we buy a ticket or book a JS that we shouldn’t need a backup though. It’s on Delta to get you to work at that point.

I don’t think so. The policy specifically says you can’t travel “standby” on the same city pair/day that you had a confirmed ticket. I don’t view JS as a standby type of travel. It is nonrev but not standby. And logically as was stated the purpose of the policy is to prevent people from blocking revenue seats and then later using them for standby travel. You’re not holding a seat for yourself if you use the JS (although you could obviously still flow back into a cabin seat).

If we had it in writing that a purchased ticket waved the requirement for a backup I’d immediately go back to commuting and just buy all my tickets to work during the busy seasons.

Agree. Even Positive Space is nonrev. Says NRPS on your paper ticket.

I'm not saying that way it should be. I'm saying how I feel the anti-pilot company would view it. But, I'm pretty sure a JS boarding pass says NRSA


Just curious. Do you think the company would have a problem with you cancelling your seat 2 hours before departure because the JS was open and you just listed for that?

yes, absolutely. but that is different than the flight canceling, leaving you no choice.
