Nobody really drops to zero at NK. Some drop a bunch and then play the "will I get a 200% call since I have the time off." I would not get too caught up in drop to zero as a literal meaning, that is a regular event here at NK. Personally we need to find a drop number that works for the majority of the pilots and a system that doesnt require swaps, screw having to need someone to take your flying.
Plenty of times I have dropped to 50, enjoyed the time off, decide if I want to work 200%, and did not have to worry about maintaining certain credit.

Biggest thing is to not make it seniority order and more of a first come first serve kinda deal.
DTZ aside, I would love to see positive space commuting, profit sharing, better health, dental, vision, paid short term parking, and hotels for LCR to SCR conversions. Oh, and get rid of SQ positions and make those trips something you bid for. I know there’s more out there, but this is off the top of my head.

As a data point, my buddy got his first line. Dropped everything and picked up flying around the days he needed off.

Also while in SQ, you can still drop SQ trips and pick up domestic. Just have to fix that reserve grid, that’s where red/green would come in.

Also not something I’d spend any negotiating capital on. Just bid over to it for half a year and bid out.

Say it again. Sure seems like Positive Space commuting became a thing while locals have only taken it in the shorts the last 2 years with an ever worsening parking situation (looking at you JFK/BOS...LGA being a lone bright spot). I don't begrudge the PS commuting but the union sure doesn't seem interested in our joke of a parking situation.

jetblue guy here. Our resssignnent language is actually pretty good.
emergency reassignment (basically any reassignment) within our pairing footprint pays 150% and can only be done 2 times in the previous 12 calendar months. Outside of our pairing footprint is 200% @ a 5hr minimum.
certainly room for improvement, but not terrible.
