This is why party why DTZ is so relevant to Spirit pilots. I don't know anyone who just drops their schedule and doesn't work. We use it as a means to maximize our QOL and schedule flexibiliy. Guys drop and pickup out of base or perhaps they couldn't bid off a certain day or group of days and can simply drop the conflicting trip and pickup something else. It's not a really a means to not work. It's just a means to work more effectively from a personal standpoint.
Also, has anyone else noticed how this fourm software is total cancer? Especially on mobile.

One has a side business and just showed up to do his 3 slam and goes.
The other only does X Y trips and made like 600k or something.

As an example, yesterday there was an ORD X list trip that everyone passed on. Then it went to Y list with no takers. They then resorted to calling everyone on on the junior man list and still no one took it. If you are available and willing when they need you, you can pick up some premium flying at NK.

The likely way this pilot would get that many hours is to be in an outstation that is big enough to have multiple broken trips a month or to drop and list for every day in a short staffed base.

When you get an X/Y trip you dont go to the back of the line. Its not a 1 trip back of the line type banashement. If in January I flew ten hours of premium and was listed for premium on Feb 1 for premium I would have priority over every one else who also listed for that day who has flown 10.1 hours of premium or more. They call based on who has flown the least for the year, then by seniority for that time. All this assumes you're legal to fly the trip.

That sounds like a great deal for the top ten guys in each base. Kinda like JetBlue's current VDA system.
