I think so.
More likely delta will get a deal on the max real cheap.

Hopefully not one more 737, ever -- after the last -900 in a month or two.

The trip really isn't yours until your within 2 hours or report. I was given a 3-day GS that NOOP'd with an hour to report. I was given single pay (15+45) for the trip and had a recovery obligation that I was cut loose from after 2 hours. Another time I had OOBGS that NOOP'd (due the 88 going off the runway in LGA) outside the 2 hours but was at the airport already waiting JS to LGA. I think I was given suit up pay for that.
If you are a regular line holder when the trip is on your schedule it’s yours. The caveat being if the made a coverage mistake they have time to take it off. So if it NOOPs then you get straight pay. The rules are different for reserve. There are 23k recovery obligations

DTW350 10 day trip. There is a LAX 79 hour layover on this trip. Are guys allowed to commute home for this long layover?

Rumor had it a pilot went home to FL during his 75+ hour ATL layover and, due to the outbound to ICN leaving just after midnight, thought he had an extra day at home. He didn't. I'm sure that went over well.

"Allowed" might not be the word you are looking for. I am sure some pilots have "expanded their view" on their 3-day layover but, in the end, it all boils down to.....you better be back to LA by pick-up/brief. Not so sure the "Call in Honest"/"Unable to Commute" policies work well in the middle of a rotation at a base that does not have A350 reserves. 😁

I hope not. Having non-revved and deadheaded on both the 321 and 739, the 321 is a far better customer experience. The 739 is my least favorite Delta airplane as a passenger.

Your other example of a guy getting his days mixed up could happen on any layover. Whether or not he was at home or not hardly matters--though his missing the pickup, for whatever reason, is indeed his fault.
So to answer the question: yes, you can go home on a long domestic layover. However, it is always the pilot's job to be available and ready for work at the scheduled pickup time.

You are talking two different things here. What a pilot does on a layover is his business. I've had guys in the JS going home on similar such long layovers. So long as you are ready at scheduled pickup time on your next working leg, nothing else matters.
