Plenty of reserves for dropping? And is it like Mesa used to be where you can drop parts of trips that you don't want? I understand some airlines only allow you to drop entire trips or nothing at all. TIA!
PIT on the FO side has had literally every day of the month for the past 3 months or so available for drop, and reserves rarely get used (company wide I bet it's well less than 50% of your reserve days you get used, varies widely depending on fleet and base). We're (PIT) probably overstaffed on FO's though. Basic answer to this is: It probably varies a lot with your base, and time of year.
But... more importantly... I'm 99% sure you'd have a much better qol here than you do at Mesa (IF YOU LIVE IN BASE). my 2 cents.
