My takeaway has been its cyclical across probably all airlines. I have a buddy at AA who used to drop every month to zero, then rebuild out of open time. Now he can’t drop a single trip for months on end, but that likely goes back to the former at some point in the future. At DAL, it seems fairly fleet specific (better staffing = more opportunity to drop trips due to good coverage).

So, while I’m right there with you personally, I don’t think this is a data point that’s worth making a decision based on…they’re all going to ebb and flow over time on how much dropping you can get away with.
