Trip trading? Part 117 didn't change that. Regionals don't staff enough to allow much trip trading.

As for the crappy trips, part 117 completely changed our pairings at Republic. I'm on average down 2 to 4 days off from before. The trips are not worth much credit, so I have to work more days. Commutability has gone down the tubes. And I'm top 10% in base.
