You are correct and that is what I meant, just didn't type enough words.

Dropping trips update
Wondering if much has changed regarding options to work less than a full schedule. Heard life has gotten busier lately & curious to learn how senior one might need to be to drop trips with company or give away via swap board. Thanks

Any pilot can post his entire line on the trip board if he wanted to. You can post and de-post the entire line or portions. You can post it and then take it down days or weeks later if you wanted to. Of course you want to accomplish at least half your line in order to maintain certain benefits.
We do have pilots routinely dropping to just over 37.5 per pay period.

It takes 37.5 credit hours per "bid" period (usually 56 days) for A-plan, vacation and sick accrual. So you really only need to do 25% of the work to maintain the benefits. Thank you EB!
Q# 13-100) Will dropping my line credit using the Trip Board negatively impact my accruals for vacation, sick, and longevity accruals in a bid period as long as I maintain at least 37.5 credit hours for that bid period?
No. Your vacation, sick, and longevity accruals are protected just like your Defined Benefit “A-Plan” accruals are protected when you voluntarily reduce your line credit by transferring trips to other crewmembers using the Trip Board. You must, however, maintain a minimum of 37.5 credit hours in the bid period in order to receive this protection.
