Thanks for all the replies. My dad used to be a work for a legacy that is no longer around and he could drop trips. Back in the 90's he usually worked 6 days/mo but that was a different time as we all know, so I thought things may have changed after all the industries financial troubles. I was curious if its that way at the legacy's, not just SWA. Anyone know of a legacy where you can't drop most if not all of your trips? The SWA pilot I knew is in the middle of the seniority list, so he would have good enough trips to drop as WhatsaLizad said. He basically just had to work enough to keep current with 121 recency of experience requirements.
Glendale, what are some of the minimum hour restrictions you know of? 18 days off doesn't sound too bad, but could you work less if you wanted, or is that your minimum?
If I could drop a lot half of my hours a month after putting in 5 years that would be an incentive to me to go on to the airlines. If I could have the option of dropping my whole month after 10 years or so, that would be even better
