Trip parking definitely contributed to the "surplus" we had on the 777 this last AE.

How could it not?

Management loves it and ALPA seems to as well. They even gave us that recent swap "improvement" of letting guys pick up trips that take them within 30 minutes of a FAR violation instead of the 1 hour rule we've had for years.
Gee thanks. There goes some more jobs.
