Does anyone know if the double occupancy rooms have split rooms with separated beds? I feel like it would be kind of weird otherwise. Thanks!

You can close the door for privacy, there's actually a room within the room that has the second bed in it.

What are these 'dropped trips' you speak of? I believe they are about as elusive and rare as the mystical griffin (half-eagle, half-lion) that had medieval storytellers so enthralled.

In your Skywest career, you are more likely to encounter an actual griffin at FL390 (er...make that FL350 for us RJ chaps) than you are to actually ever be able to 'drop' a trip.

I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who's managed to actually drop a trip in the past few years. (Management pilots don't count.)

I think he's talking about trips posted by other crew members. Not necessarily dropped.

FWIW I've been able to drops trips plenty in the past. There have been a lot of times recently where we've been fat on pilots and drops have been possible. There was the whole period 2008-2010 where you could drop and they were asking for voluntary leave. There was also a short period in fall and winter of 2012 where I could drop a lot of trips.

Duty rig has been 2:1 for a while. There will be a 4:1 trip rig now with the new pay package passing.
