Former Chief Pilot BM investigated them and said there was no wrongdoing that they could find. The same 10 or so people dropping schedules and always getting a charter isn't normal. There's now a father son team on the 777 who do it. They drop and fly charter trips together. The odds of any of that happening is zilch without some type of insider help or knowledge about charters.

It's a thing. I successfully picked up a charter trip once. When I showed to the briefing table, the first comment made to me by the CA and RFO was, "How did you get this trip?" I said I put in open time for it. "HOW did you get this trip", they asked again. That's when I got the hint. I checked their schedules. Both drop their monthly bid schedule and always get an incredible charter trip -- every month.

Probably also why we don’t have real-time automated trip trading. As long as CRS has their hands on every single schedule mod this crap will never get fixed. The locals have no interest in letting the rest of us play their game.

I’ll take a slightly different perspective. I think reserve should be fantastic and that improves the quality of life for everyone. If senior folks bid reserve, that means junior folks can bid 48 hours in Honolulu. Imagine not having to come in for Hotel Standby on R-24 and rarely get used. Much better quality of life for commuters out there that don’t want to get used much. A good reserve system is better for everyone IMO.

I’m all for improving the reserve system but why do we have to give something up for that to happen? Y’all need to get that nonsense out of y’all heads.
