We would all love to drop/trade trips at the Regional level. But we also know that it just won't happen. Which is also sad to say, but I also don't get how a Regional could ever move away from that model. But also saying that not being able to drop/trade trips is just a OO problem. I only say that because people that don't work for SkyWest or people that may be considering going to OO, versus another Regional, think that they may be able to do that.
I understand what you are saying as well. My real point is that getting time off is all but impossible and the company doesn't really care. We have min staffing guidelines that are not being complied with. We hire about 85 a month and lose 65, but when they take on extra flying the math doesn't work and profit is always first.
