My question is, what limitations are there on it? Surely all the pilots can’t just drop their entire schedules, so what are the mechanics and requirements to drop trips? At JBLU we have to have adequate reserve coverage or trade to another pilot.
thx

The way to look at it is that most pilots that drop their whole schedules dont just sit around and not work, they pick trips back up again that they like or want from opentime which allows them to be home more. So its really a way to improve your schedule. The bad trips that get dropped just sit there and go to the reserves or X/Y list guys that want 200% For awhile when I was junior I could only get 4 days, so i dropped my whole line and then just picked up day trips or 2 days. As long as the day is green you can drop. Heck, tomorrow and Fri have green days (FLL), i can drop my back to back day trips if I want to. Its a great thing to have.. We better keep this on our next JCBA

That is of course not in LAS as no newhires go there.
