You submitted your personal drops, and the algorithm simply said "we have more than what is required enjoy your time off."



What CPO was this? NYC? My CPO first showed me how to P/D to get thanksgiving off when I was a new hire. We sat there and did the P/D together and on the next PCS run my trip was dropped. Thanksgiving off. Since then, anytime I have something important (holiday, birthday, kids event, etc.) if I can't trade, I use my p/d.



I was also told "At Delta you can drop your entire schedule if you want, just understand you won't be paid for trips dropped."



Nothing wrong at all with what you did.
