Glad that’s the case.
NK probably has the best drop/pickup rules of any US airline I’m aware of. 75% of their days have to be available to drop, regardless of reserve coverage, and premium there (called Y list) seems to work like our GS does here with no trigger. 200% with no obligation to fly the trip If they call you (you can turn it down)
JB can drop to 70 but give away down to 0, and premium there is 200% but I think it’s FCFS.
AAs is pretty sweet, I’d take that over rolling thunder any day.
hopefully we can work the GS trigger down a bit more (IMO if we are gonna keep it, it should be whatever the minimum a pilot can be awarded, which right now is 65)
seeing I had bad info about vacation counting towards the trigger makes the trigger a bit less of a big deal to me. Not sure why I thought it did not count.

They also have a premium list for the airport you live in. Example: you live in Orlando but aren't based there. You put your name on it list and MUST report to the airport for any trip they assign you within 3 hours.

We actually have a two tiered premium flying list, X/Y.
X list is more than 3 hours out and CAN be turned down, and you can only do this in your domicile.
Y list is less than 3 hours, you CANNOT turn it down, but it’s for any Spirit city.
