There are about 900 lines systemwide at XJT. With 32 new-hires a month, that means you have a 3.5% chance of getting a trip dropped. However, we have pilots that specifically bid lines with check airmen to get trips dropped for OE. If you have a line an entire month with a check airman, and all are dropped, then you pick up open time on top of that... we are talking a lot of money.
