Select the desired transaction. Real Time Trip Trade The Real Time Trip Trade system is designed for trips that depart the next calendar day. At 1100 Local Base Time (LBT) the pilot real time trip trade window opens. Out-of-base trip trades start at 1300 LBT before the trip reports. Once trips have been selected for pick up or trade, a verification screen will display. The screen will display a summary of the request. Note: Once you click the „Pickup‟ or „Trade‟ tab, the system will check for legalities. If the trade is possible, the trip will be added to your line. You will not be able to reverse your request once a trade or pickup is complete.

End of procedure. Seniority Trip Trade The Seniority Trip Trade system is a tool that will award schedule modification requests in compliance with the UPA and FARs. Seniority Trip Trades are available to lineholders only. The system will open at 1200 Local Base Time (LBT) on the 20th of each month to allow requests for the following month. A maximum of 18 separate requests can be saved for processing. Trades can be entered any time after the system opens until the end of the bid month. The system will begin to process trades for the next bid month on the 24th at 1500 LBT. The system will then run every 4 hours until the end of the bid month in which you are trading. After 1100 LBT any stored requests that contain a trip departing the next day will no longer be considered by the Seniority Trip Trade System. 6 Crew Communication System Pilot‟s User Guide: Trading There are four types of requests in the Seniority Trip Trade System. Normal Trip Trade Requests Requesting to trade out of one or more trips and trade into one or more trips in the same request is called a Trip Trade. Without Pay Drop Requests Requesting to drop a trip without picking up another trip in the same request is called a Without Pay Drop. You are not pay protected for dropping flying from your monthly calendar. Vacation Drop Requests Requesting to drop a trip without picking up another trip in the same request and be paid for that trip out of next year‟s vacation allowance is called a Vacation Drop.
