If you’re a jr. lineholder you are getting max credit. Probably the same for jr. Captains. Makes me concerned about returning to the NB.
im not talking about dropping with crew scheduling… I’m talking about advertising a trip as a clean drop (for the 24th trade) so that a pilot trying to max out can pick it up without having to trade. It works… I did it while up at EWR as a junior captain on the 756. And you can’t drop the worst trip in your schedule… sometimes if you want the days off you need to drop your best trip on your line.
