Frontier allows you to drop to 60 hours credit for half the months and 70 credit the other half. You can drop virtually all of your flying, but you have to pick up to those levels by the end of the month. We have tons of scheduling flexibility but you must end the month with 60 or 70 credit hours. Many people are able to completely change their entire month from the award. Hope that made sense

“First, management issued "warning letters" to pilots who have not credited 70 hours in a month. While it's true that the CBA states that a pilot must credit 70 hours by the end of the month, management has not enforced this provision for many years, and told us at the bargaining table that it had no intent to enforce the provision. However, despite the clear past practice that allows pilots to credit less than 70 hours in a month, management has threatened to discipline such pilots.”
I don’t know anyone who has tried since so who knows what they would do now.

More on topic, last Feb I didn't like my schedule and gave away the entire month. Training helpfully (not) scheduled me for my recurrent a month early so I did credit about 25ish TFP for the month, but mostly I enjoyed the month off.

That's exactly the kind of work rule that ensured I never applied at Frontier, even when I was unemployed and looking for "anything" to jump-start my airline career. State of the industry today, there's no reason to put up with that kind of crap, but Frontier keeps pushing that style of BS on its employees. As a last resort, I'd bag groceries or deliver pizza before going to Frontier.

This right here for Delta. If you can hold weekends off, there are plenty of vultures to pick up the weekday stuff even in NYC.
