Thanks Avroman - I called Crew Scheduling and they said because it is a request for a complete drop, they won't even look at it until it's within 48 hours of the trip. Makes it hard to plan since I need to go out of town, but hopefully, everything will work out ok. Appreciate the response!

I forgot about that... yea they normally won't look at a complete drop til 48 prior because that's when they start assigning open flying to the reserves. If after doing that they have extra coverage still they will then drop your trip. If not you are stuck with it.

Plenty of Captains did ready reserve and YEARS of reserve. It's a normal part of staffing... remember that question on the interview that asked you if you were prepared for the job and its various attributes?

Hey, was curious if anyone has heard anything new since the letters were handed out and the pool was formed. I as well received it and just wondering if I should keep instructing to get my hours up or start looking elsewhere.
