So back to JH's original post. Hosebag did not trade anything from the WS board. The trip he picked up via WS he has kept. It was a trip originally on his line that he "parked."Scoop
Thanks for the clarificaiton; I did not understand all the possibiilties. I think #2 would be the most effective way to end the practice.

Disagree. This is a "no cost" item to fix. The trip pays the same to whomever flies it, so the company is not out one penny. How much negotiating capital is expended fixing no cost items? I would hope none.
The obstacle is the number of guys who benefit from this system. My sense is there are quite a few, or this would not be an issue. I'm not against guys making money, but it should be done in a less devious way. Another very simple answer is to remove the pickup cap. If it's legal and you are senior enough to WS it and get a 150 month, more power to you. NWA had a system similar to this; they didn't care how much time you picked up, but if a trip put you past 80 hrs the guys who were below 80 had first shot. The same logic could be applied to the cap.
