Default UAL contract question from the outside.

Simple question, I think.

If you have reserve coverage, can you drop all your trips back to the company unpaid, and go to zero credit?

Not drop them to another pilot, but drop them back to the company? And go to zero hours credit without using any type of bank?

If so, can you do this month after months without restriction?

In theory, yes. In practice, no. You’d be lucky to get a single straight drop, let alone your whole schedule.

I’m pretty sure this depends on seniority. I drop lots of trips every month and rebuild my schedule. Seems to be easy on the first trade run of the month (24th I think).

We can drop everything with no minimums, but in practice having the reserve coverage is the hard part.
