Yeah, except no one was abusing it. In the past they would allow you to drop the trip but also blocked your trip footprint from picking anything up in open time or X/Y list flying to rebuild your credit. The union rightfully so filed a grievance and eventually won it in arbitration. It was always the company’s decision on how to handle a commuter drop, choosing to put you on reserve now is just our punishment for winning the grievance.
