I pick up at 50% because I’ve noticed toward the end of the summer, even if they have the reserve coverage they’ll ONLY offer 50%. Ive waited to bite on a 50% PP trip during the 11:00 trade run, only to have it disappear and go to a reserve. They’ve been doing this a lot lately, they’d rather see if anyone would fly it at 50% before they burn whatever reserves they have.
What ticks me off is there’ll be a good trip in open time that I’d be willing to fly for straight pay or trade with, and I’ll be the only one on the desired list. At 10:50, they’ll post it for 50% and 7 guys senior to me knock me down the list.

When a trip opens in the middle of the night and the sole reserve says they can’t make in less than 2 1/2 hours, a 100% premium for that first leg is a reliable safety valve. As long as the lineholder with the automated smart pickup didn’t turn off the phone's notifications.
