Btw…. On the note of when a day of work starts and when it ends….. here’s another little nugget: The company doesn’t consider it a “day” of work when you begin a trip at 10:30 + PM but they absolutely consider a day of work when you want to trade a 3 day trip that begins with a redeye and pays 13:43 for a two day commutable that pays 10:45….. Doesnt matter that you’re trying to be efficient and work the least days for the most pay, or that a 34 hr Newark layover is only going to net you an additional 2:58 mins of pay….. what matters when you try to TRADE for the more efficient trip is…. “Uh uh uhhhh… no sir. You can’t trade a THREE day trip for a TWO day trip!! Why that might end up costing us and extra “day” of reserve pilot usage. Denied.”
It’s a day when THEY want it be. It’s NOT a day when it comes to your pay or credit.

But you still have to be above the min credit for that bid. Which can really be a issue if you give away a few trips to make your life more manageable.. There are tips for making it work but so many hoops to jump through.

No. You can not drop trips.
If you can manage to find another pilot to TAKE your trips you can pick up from any base.. but there is no mechanism to drop trips regardless of staffing. (Unless you call in sick of course)

I'm completely disgusted with people who " call sick " for the sake of above ^^.. and some should be AL ARM to abuse the system, then goes to work for a startup in Miami whilst sick from here. The Chief also need to address this problem. The rest of us are working our butt off to cover his.

Thanks for the clarification. Missed that key point in the conversation. That being said. We can also not pick up out of base from open time…. Only another pilot.
