It's a easy and excellent way to get the 4th of July off if you are a bottom feeding line holder. Have a trip flying 2-5 Jul, pick up a trip flying 1-2 July and you have the Holiday off and the company can't deny it.
Trips dropped in that situation are unpaid.
Sailing speaks the truth. I used this technique every month when I was on the 88. It was required knowledge if you participated in the drop your schedule, WS/GS mafia game
I always bid for a 4 or 5 day trip the first day of the bid period having no intentions of flying it
