Fwiw, the company brought back reserve drops during Covid…. We were obviously over staffed for our capacity. This allowed people to stay on payroll, and prevented some furloughs. There will always be another downturn, do we want to preemptively gut something that may never be used then look in hindsight after furloughs and think; “huh….wish we could let people drop at their own volition….”.

What is it in the Spirit CBA that prevents the company from setting reserve levels that make it impossible to drop?
At United we are allowed to drop to zero, but dropping anything at all is very difficult because in our version of the grid, the company establishes coverage levels that make it consistently red for most if not all of the month.
Our current CBA places no limits on the reserve minimum levels each day.

Our CBA has that at the beginning of the first round of swaps/drops, a minimum of 75% of the grid must be green. Reserve requirement levels are adjusted to make that number happen. And, with the exception of a few holidays, all days are treated equally (reserve requirement levels are equal through the whole month).

I don’t quite understand your last sentence but it seems to be the problem. Are you saying there’s no
contractual number on the res side for the grid to be at to drop? Or are you saying there’s no min staffing level so it’s always sub whatever the res grid number is?
