Default trading below 65

Is it kosher to trade yourself below 65 hours after the start of a month? Can you give trips away with the same result?

No I do not think they will let you do this. Truthfully the company doesn’t even like pilots going below 75 hours. There is a balance point at which it costs the company more money in your insurance costs etc and if you go below 75 you are basically tipping that scale.

They'd have all of us working 90-100 hours/month if it weren't for the protections in the contract, of which SAP is a big one.

A trip given to another pilot doesn’t increase their benefit costs/ASM

But apart from whether they like it, what contract provision allows or disallows it?

I don't have the contract handy, but I don't recall any prohibition or allowance for it in the PWA. As a result, the company can do whatever they want in this area.
