You can drop your trip via the pilot to pilot swap board then whiteslip the trip you want.

Could stay in and watch a movie. Do you know why pilots like to watch their porn backwards?

They like the part where the girl gives the guy the money.

Never seen a hooker and a good tax attorney working the same corner ... I think it is a professional courtesy.

That prompts this hypothetical:

If I'm on a layover at a strip club with my company tablet device getting a private dance, is there any way the company could somehow access the video I'm taking and then send it to my wife?

She wanted me to ask.

I can understand how that would be a major concern. ALPA sucks!

I dunno, but the Surface 2 has a two position kick stand. Figure that's gotta be handy ...

Ok thanks. The trip is pretty ugly, but maybe someone will want it.

Welcome to Delta.

Try the pilot swap board ... your garbage is another pilot's treasure.

Keep the request in. I've had such swaps constantly denied and then, bingo, for no reason that I could tell. Even stranger, had a three day over Labor Day and was able to swap it for a 1 day on a Thursday with no coverage ... go figure.

I went for a year and a half not seeing any color on that screen but black. Someone must have complained, so they added a note at the bottom "color coding has returned to the screen."

The trip that you are picking up has to have worse coverage than your dropped trip.
