Here's another play I've been seeing quite a bit of;
In my category, we only have one 'short' trip, a 10hr. two day. But some very senior guys bid them, then swap them for very high time trips. If you swap a couple 10. hr trips for a couple 30-38 hr. trips, you can go wayyyy over 100hrs. very easily. But see, not too many guys can white slip a 38hr. trip, as it puts you over the cap, so these guys have figured out a 'legitimate' work around.
Any wonder why we keep seeing displacements off the 777 ?
And that sh!t rolls all the way down hill.
