Nobody was dropping anything.
Trade board? Yeah good luck dropping much of anything.
Its really interesting to me that Spirit pilots are willing to trade away a lot of money and other contractual pieces in order to keep there schedule flexibility and JetBlue pilots are happier to have a tight reserve grid with less flexibility but significantly higher pay and other contractual benefits. Its just funny to me how different each pilot group views their wants and needs. I predict much friction and bad will after the JCBA.
