At another carrier they've got partial drop but only if it's picked up by another pilot. Similar to our current qualified drop. But the onerous aspect of the system is that a pick up of the partial drop only pays block, not ADG. If the penalty lap is high value, it'll go, but no one will pick up a turn worth 2 hours.
