E) Fictitious Bookings
Multiple bookings of a fictitious nature are prohibited by Delta. In the event Delta determines that an individual has confirmed such bookings to one or more destination(s) on or about the same date(s), the carrier reserves the right to cancel all confirmed space associated with the multiple reservations without notice to the passenger or the person making the booking.

what advantage exactly? The OP wants to pay Delta TWICE and will only take one the flights. I am sure Delta will gladly take the money.

Nor is it fictitious unless you define every nonrefundable ticket reservation which one later learns they have to change as fictitious. Oh wait - I guess that's sort of what Delta has done with award tickets, at least those which you cancel within 72 hours of departure.

And exwan's contention is baloney. There's a 15% chance I'll fly the original reservation and an 85% chance I'll fly the 2nd reservation itinerary.
If delta doesn't want me to pay them twice, I guess I'll have to pay another airline for the 2nd ticket.

DL (and all carriers AFAIK) disallow this. The OP knows that. Posters are suggesting that he provide false information so as not be detected.
WN tickets are all refundable, why not just buy the entire plane out on your flight?
Why not buy 5 F refundable seats on every flight you are on to increase upgrade chances?
There is a very valid reason the airlines do not allow phantom bookings.

There have been times when I was unsure exactly where I would have to fly after 'Selection Sunday'. Knowing I would be flying when the announcements were made, I called DL and booked multiple itineraries (8 total) during a single call. Departing the same city, two different dates. Different final destinations. Fully refundable tickets. No issues doing that.

. Oh wait, you probably didn't give them your birthdate, right?
