I hear from friends at places like Skywest and Republic that dropping trips is difficult. What's it tend to be like at Endeavor?

Unless you’re a flight attendant it’s almost impossible

NYC FO seems to have some green days this month. I usually have luck putting stuff on the tradeboard as a FO. I have no clue about the Captain side.

What about using PVD bidding to drop a trip? Would that be an option?

You can if there's an open week of vacation for your category and class. Make sure you understand the difference between the pvd bid periods and where the form is on the website.

How does the timing work on that? When is the cutoff to bid for/request a PVD in a given month?

It’s one of the memos is the early bid or bid packet. You can always mail Crew Planning..

PVD is in the late bid. 18th-20th IIRC...

I see in flica how to look at premium reserve days but how do you actually add them?

How many hours is a normal reserve day worth?

If assigned flying while on premium reserve does the trip pay premium?

Edit: what is premium reserve?
