Patches that absurd 6 figure deviation bank doesn't include the trips he was awarded and bumped off of. # is probably closer to 150-200k
Here is the problem fellas/ladies, any FO/Capt on the 11 can occasionally get a nice trip that includes SYD or CDG or VCP etc if you play the OT lottery because those trips are almost all operating. It's only the large deviation bank trips with potential to cut multiple days of work off the schedule that the "wolf pack" goes after...that is what needs to change.
Proposed changes:
1) OTP can only be used once, you drop it you lose it back to general makeup
2) real time trip trading
This just leaves insider trading with schedulers, that's the hard one to stop

Assuming he is dropping the month and picking up everything with make-up, I don't think you get OTP for trips cancelled in MU.

He (and many members of the "wolf pack") is/are OTP recycling...yes he drops his month into general makeup that is true. However he also has OTP which gets regenerated every time a charter cancels & he declines sub. The OTP is used to grab a trip and cut the line, then the trip is dropped & immediately picked back up (from what I hear usually with a scheduler on the line to ensure he doesn't get time stamped) with general makeup. OTP restored, general m/u used. Rinse & repeat

That's effing bullshlt that they are getting away with it for so long. Again, I heard BMc called over to the Scheduling manager to inquire. He was told, you watch your pilots I'll watch my schedulers.... thank you.

IIRC ... (I'm too lazy to look it up) you get 90 mins from HSTBY to wheels up ... that sounds a LOT like a 30 minute call-out to me
