Yes, the Iphone stinks at typing.
Maybe someone has taken over this screen name long ago.
They always make sense to me

Was non-reving today from RSW to CVG and there was this Skywest pilot sitting behind me trying to get DEN. Couldn't help but overhear his conversation with his crew scheduling...
him: "hey skeds" .... "just wanted to give you a heads up on my situation. I am commuting to DEN this morning.. blah blah blah and I was wondering if you could give me positive space on the leg from CVG to DEN?"
them: (apparently) "no"
him: "well you can't blame a guy for trying"
I have seen this a lot in the past but had hoped guys were not playing this game anymore. FYI, I guess its still in play.

What is wrong with it? From talking to a couple NWA/DL pilots it happens from time to time there also.

The problem is that they use Delta to PS pilots to cover the United operation. That is (picture a finger wave, Deltalina-style)... not allowed on this or any other Delta flight.

A SkyWest crewmember getting a positive space DH on a Delta flight to DEN where SkyWest flies for United is a no-no.
