So in regards to dropping trips, can we just drop as many trips in a month as needed, as long as the days are green? Or would that be frowned upon by the company? A call to the chief’s office?
How would it get deducted from your paycheck if you dropped a trip?
Or if you dropped to 0?
I’ve heard responses, but just trying clarify.
Also, if you have a very important single-day event a few weeks just after you are projected to be off OE, or even during OE, would it be possible to request that day off?
Thanks!

I’m one of the bottom bidders in base, barely hold a line. Get my awful bid award, drop the entire line to zero. Spend the rest of the month off, waiting for a 200% trip or for day trips to pop up in opentime. Typically work 10-12 day trips a month and credit 70-95. Usually home 26+ Nights a month.
if you don’t want to work, you don’t have to
YMMV, but if you ask me this place is heaven on earth

May I ask where are you based and do you live in base?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, new hires must purchase their initial uniform. After 18 months, the company will supply eight shirts, two ties, and two slacks. At 36 months, the company will supply a blazer, leather jacket, or Karbon jacket, I believe.

That's abnormal - but it IS possible . . . IF you live in base and are have a LOT of flexibility with days off, so, if Spirit calls for that 200% trip or that Day trip pops into open time, you can take it.
Most of us mere mortals have kid's soccer games, date nights with the wife, etc. The family doesn't seem to see "Yeah, I missed THAT one event, but I have 22 days off this month!" the same way you do. BUT . . . if you have that kind of schedule flexibility, Spirit can be a great place to work, since dropping to 0 and then waiting for something good to fall into your lap now that your schedule is WIDE OPEN to accept it is something that can be done here. And you can always say "no" if you really need the day off too. You work here as little or as much as you want . . . as long as you're a line holder, of course.

If you’re going to choose one, I’d buy the Karbon. When it gets really cold, the blazer ain’t going to cut it.

Wait, sorry…that never happened.
Seriously? Guys now can’t afford a black pair of slacks and a few junk shirts to do their job? Our uniform provider is junk. So much junk that many guys donate our allowance to new FOs who can’t seem to find $100 to buy a few shirts and a pair of pants.
Paying for uniforms and medical, such low hanging fruit. FUPM, give me money, that’s what I want and I’ll buy my own supplies from a uniform supplier that actually makes decent stuff.
