Industry Worst Commuting Policy
I hope that DALPA is aware of and advocating for much needed improvements in this area.
A single confirmed jumpseat flight on company metal arriving at least 30 minutes prior to show time would cost the company nothing and would better align Delta w our peers.
Current Policy:
Delta: Two flights, second one must be on Delta or Delta Connection.
American: One flight. Reasonable attempt. No back up required.
Southwest: One flight on Southwest arriving 1hr prior to show, or two flights on OAL.
United: Two flights on any carrier.
FedEx: One flight on Fedex arriving 1.5 hrs before show.

We actually have two different policies and the ability to book jumpseats well ahead of time.
