You cannot simply list a trip off of your line in open time. You can look at open trips and TRADE your trip for an open trip or you can put in a request to drop your trip, or trade it with another pilot's trip or days off. Mesaba doesn't have a mechanism to just put a trip in open time to see if someone will pick it up. That is what notes on the trip trade section of our ALPA message board, or the newer Mesaba Pilots forum or pieces of paper hanging in the crew room etc.
If you have a friend that has a trip you want, and he/she will fly your trip, you can trade each other's trips on a single trip trade form.
