If you really want to drop a particular trip for whatever reason you can add a note to the trade board that offers some money to incentivize someone else to pick up. Never heard anyone cold calling it.
I’ve never done it and I doubt people do it regularly. It’s more like I need my kid’s graduation day off so here’s $100 to whoever picks it up.
The company doesn’t get involved. I guess they PayPal each other or something.
That’s at XJT. I assume SkyWest might have it too.
Edit: just looked at the trade board company wide and there are only two guys offering money, $100 for a three day and $50 for the last four legs of someone’s trip.
