The ability to drop trips varies widely by base and seat. In my current base, you could drop every day if you want. In many other bases, you wouldn't be able to drop anything.
If you are in a small base with no spares, you are only going to get used on reserve if someone calls in sick. I have talked to 80 guys in some bases that are getting used almost every day on reserve.
