Agree 100%. Open time is just eBay for flying. There are no morals involved, just some strategy which was covered well in this thread. Those ranting the most likely have their boards blocked. Getting a trip straight on probation almost equals premium pay. Not so for TTGA.

Its still valuable for some extra money, but go grab some extra fly from a reserve assignment before you go digging in the TTGA bin.

Let’s clarify this a bit.

If you look through TTGA and under post notes, you see “Call Scheduling to pick this up”, that means this trip was assigned to a reserve, which means it’s been run through open time. If you call Scheduling and take it, it’s the same as bidding it straight - you get it at second year rate.

You find those trips either in TTGA or Open Time Awards with the code AR.

In TTGA, you can run a legality check and if legal, it’ll say so but it’ll also tell you to contact Scheduling for assistance. This pays second-year rates.

If it only says you’re legal, and no reference to call Scheduling - it pays first year rates.

Agreed, however it's only recently been hard to get open time. I got several premium trips last year as a probie. Hopefully after Hawaii or whatever else is in the works, we get back to a lean staffing model.

Also, be aware that the trip pay shown in trip trade giveaway may not accurately reflect the actual pay. If it went thru open time the pay is the pay listed in the M/D/H column NOT the Credit column. Especially on trips assigned to reserves that are broken up trips and pieced together trips the Regular Credit column and the M/D/H column are usually different with MDH being typically a lot higher pay. So, yes you will receive second year pay if you pick up a trip from a reserve assigned trip and it will pay the higher MDH column pay. Confusing enough....LOL
