No reserves!! picking up at 50%

Just venting...but why would you pick up a trip with a report time in 1.5 hours @ 50%. Bus in EWR is negative everyday....

Why wouldn’t you? Why does it bother you? Maybe if you wait you miss out.

There is a dude in LAX that sets his min buffer time to 0hrs. Crazy. He must live in a tent on the airport.

Ha! 50%? Sounds great. 756 FO’s love straight time pick ups. 50% would be amazing!

Actually he's in a '74 Dodge Monaco in the F lot.
It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks

Probably spends his days at the airport, just waiting for the trip to drop. Self imposed FSB.

It was a model built before catalytic converters, so it runs good on regular gas

Also if he’s a reserve, then it’s a VDO and they only get 50%.

How about letting people do what they want? If this person waited to 100%, it’s possible they wouldn’t have gotten it.

It would be nice if we negotiated that premium trips are only 100%, which seems to be the way Delta does it.

(At least the contract provides candy bars in Ops. Glad we spent time negotiating that item).
