IDK. I guess the delivery delay could be related to the B717 deal falling through, but I think it could be a lot of other things. Maybe they're delaying those slots and taking DALs? Maybe they need to reduce their capacity?

Oil has dropped $13/barrel in the last two weeks. If this keeps up, it'll be a big 2nd qtr profit.

Not happy with my June Schedule. I believe I can drop all my trips and just work the open boards and hope for the best. Is this true, and if so, how doI do it?

Go to PCS and request to Personal Drop your trips. Also post them on the Swap Board. On the Swap Board pilots can pick up your trips without regards to the white slip limits. (Hence how "trip parking" originated.)

This is true. You can then put in generic whiteslips on the days you want to work. You will get trips before the reserves. I would recommend putting in qualifiers for 3 days and 4 days. Those very rarely go to whiteslips, but if you dropped your whole schedule, you will have room for them. I would not recommend doing this unless you live in base and can go to work on fairly short notice.
