JetBlue Latest and Greatest
I have. April, 2020. Put up my whole schedule (lousy overnights), thinking I would be able to lose one or two trips (I had dorked up my bid). They were ALL quickly gobbled up. Literally.
Obviously not the norm.
And, because I didn't credit a minimum of 35 hours for that month, I didn't get that month's PTO and V-PTO allotments.
It was a lean month....

You can drop below 70 hours using PTO, but semantically you’re still at 70 hours. You’re just trading credit for PTO. At 6 hours of PTO a month, (72 hours/year), you’ll run into a shortage pretty quickly especially if you’re new starting from scratch.

And that is if the grid allows it, good luck if you have a trip that is attached to a weekend.

thanks for clarifying. So basically by using your monthly PTO accrual you can drop to 64 hours every month (if the grid allows). That’s not too bad.

Well it’s going to depend on the value of the trip you’re trying to PTO. Starting out let’s assume you can only hold 4 days. Well then you’ll need to burn at least 20 hours of PTO and the grid would have to be green on all four days. Fast forward a couple years and you can hold a few 1 day trips let’s assume. Now that scenario makes more sense. Hope I didn’t confuse you.
