Here is the difference: "I got my schedule, im going to drop this 3 day trip so I can take a trip" vs "I got my schedule, ill post it on the trade board, of someone wants my double jungle turn redeye, I can go on that trip"
And sure, im all for more PTO, doesnt mean im giving up industry leading drop provisions for it. I'll take both, thanks.
Exactly this.
Also us not having “drop to 50” or “drop to zero but must finish the month with XX” means more pilots are willing to float trips out in open time because they aren’t worried about the company forcing trips back on them to meet a credit target. This is why even if you never in your NK career drop to zero credit, it still benefits you.
