He got the X pairing ANC DH seconds after it appeared. He processed a drop of that ANC DH as those CDG trips were unfrozen, but lost out (from the way it looked) to the guy who picked up the CDG RFO trip. Then he either didn't try to pick up that ANC DH again, or lost out to someone who was waiting for it to pop into open time during the fun.

I must have been bored to spend 45 minutes of my life watching this, but I was hoping to get some insight into how fast things happened...and it was fast!
I don't know if it was a normal pickup or not but his look back schedule is nice enough that I think I am bidding 40% in the wrong WB. Hint if the pairing number is 2XXX it is likely a X Pairing.

If the paring is 2XXX, it is most likely a CHTR, XTRA, or AUG. Either way, most have at least one DH. If they go international, they usually have big deviation banks and are often DDH. The usual MEM MD-11 FOs usually snatch these pairings within seconds of them hitting open time. Rumor is that this is receiving attention from management. It is costing the company some coin to fight the bots and investigate (which they are obviously not happy about).

Check out these pairings. Are these guys alumni of NCSU or U of Nevada?

There are probably more, but the blocking of calendars just makes it easy.

You know; Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, etc. all said they were clean and were not using performance enhancing drugs to put up those insane numbers. However, the evidence shows that they were in fact using those drugs after all. Go figure.

Last, two frozen CHTR trips just hit open time. Let’s see who gets them.

You know, I've looked at the MD-11 open time a bit since this thread came out. And you guys get a number of charters and extras that we would never see on the bus. A couple of guys can't be getting them all, there's just too many. If this is representative of what you all usually get, I do find it possible that a 2-3 guys in the same seat constantly hawking open time and trading each other, with a bunch of OTP and recycling, could get a lot of these trips. Just based on seeing there seem to be a lot of them. Or was this all just a fluke?

I know for a fact this trip was an OTP recycle. It was initially an OTP pickup that was legit as the guy had OTP to burn (says a bud of his), but he then dropped and picked back up with general makeup.

How do I know this you say?

The same trip showed back up in OT a couple of hours later only to within a minute be awarded to the same guy who dropped it. Why would you get a trip with OTP only to drop & pick right back up? Recycling

They just need to make sure and schedule it towards the end of the month so it will fit his schedule.
