Can someone share the details of Spirit's Drop To Zero policy? I've heard it's great for QOL. Are there any limits on dropping on certain dates (holidays, low reserve coverage, etc...)? Can you drop to 0 hours in a month, or are you required to pick up to a minimum threshold? If you can drop to 0 hours in a month, are there limits to how often you can do this in a year? What other airlines offer this? Thanks in advance.

as long as the day is green (enough reserve coverage) you can drop as much as you want.

Thank you. Anecdotally, how often is reserve coverage green? I know that is tough to answer, but is it more like 25, 50, 75% of days?

seriously the OP needs to do a search. I almost feel like someone that owns the forum goes in and starts threads like this just to stir up activity to help sell ads.

Can you decline your benefits at Spirit if you get them from another place?


Noisecanceller, go try that and see what you find. I searched Drop to Zero Spirit and it gives ~30 threads, most of which are not even on the Spirit forum. The ones on the Spirit forum are mostly pilots saying Spirit has Drop to Zero, but no details. At least going forward, someone who uses search can find this answer in a consolidated thread.
