Delta encourages double and triple bookings by PM and DM members who can book unlimited overlapping flights at zero risk as long as cancellations are made by T-72.

I was/am under the assumption that we're talking about revenue tickets here.

It is. Even with award tickets DL still prohibits booking tickets you don't intend to keep. Plus it could be seen as attempt to manipulate inventory on a flight.

I would assume that award tickets should be an exception - because they are fully refundable. I'd expect them to cancel overlapping award tickets.

While I know the CoC allows Delta to cancel my revenue tickets, I'd be pretty mad if they cancelled duplicating revenue tickets since you'll pay a fee for changing the flight you didn't take anyways.

So basically nothing happened except wanting to know what ticket you were going to use.
Don't think that would ever deter me from doing it if the need arises.

No it was clear that if no decision was made one or both PNR's would be cancelled. They were looking for a decision.

I abused this a few years ago with multiple bookings over multiple days and they let me choose one flight each day as long as it was possible to make each flight they let me keep these active.
