What are these 'dropped trips' you speak of? I believe they are about as elusive and rare as the mystical griffin (half-eagle, half-lion) that had medieval storytellers so enthralled.

In your Skywest career, you are more likely to encounter an actual griffin at FL390 (er...make that FL350 for us RJ chaps) than you are to actually ever be able to 'drop' a trip.

I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who's managed to actually drop a trip in the past few years. (Management pilots don't count.)
