How much does seniority influence the ability to drop trips?
Is there a minimum required to fly on a monthly basis to maintain insurance coverage?
Basically I’m trying to ascertain whether it’s possible to be part time and improve QOL.
Thank you for replies.
Probably depends on what your fleet/base specifically, but as a junior NB lineholder it is difficult to drop trips. It also changes with the time of year. In the summer when schedules are filled with minimum days off, it is near impossible. There are ways to get more days off by trading into trips with fewer days that have lower reserve coverage, although I’m oversimplifying it slightly.
