At Alaska they can drop but have to credit a minimum of 50 hours for the month. American I believe "lets" you drop to zero, but the reserve grid is never green to actually use it. Curious how it is at United for those of us that really prefer schedule flexibility. Thanks in advance.
For clarity, at Alaska it's possible to drop (or trade) to zero, there are some benefit ramifications. Limitations on that were a bit complicated due to the old bidding and trading process, but PBS is effective for May onward. I'm actually not even sure how it works going forward, probably better figure that out.
