Default Bring back 4.a.2.b

Haven't been able to drop a trip in 4 months and I kind of liked the extra time off.

Too funny. Good comeback. But seriously, am I the only one who can't drop trips any more. I loved the flexibility we used to have of dropping/trading trips. What happened?

We are short staffed.

Did you see the enormous amount of Open Time?

If you want to work every day, you have that option.

Vacation BuyBack in most Captain seats.

Peak will be interesting!!

I have dropped a 777 F/O trip the last 3 months in a row. I'm enjoying my summer off.

Price I pay is another 3&3 this month.

This was the first month I have been denied on a drop request even though they have bought back vacation in my seat for months. Perseverance paid off after multiple attempts, new scheduler etc. I didn't try adjacent to the 4th or anything over 6 days though.

Have you tried advertising to the credit hour hogs that you have a free trip that they can just take off of your line?
