The language probably won’t be out until next month.

Drop limits weren’t addressed in the AIP summary so that probably means they stay the same (no limit-drop to zero). Someone told me you have to be able to cover the cost of your insurance and disability premiums but I haven’t been able to find that in the contract.

The drop grid is similar to the DAG at Frontier with the notable exception being crew scheduling can arbitrarily set the coverage levels which inevitably makes almost every day of the month red. Straight drops are difficult but not impossible. Swapping longer trips for shorter trips is the easiest way to drop hours. I can’t speak for other bases but I never had less than 19 days off as a line holder in my first year though I was only crediting 60-70 hours.
