If you did protect them. Futures decided which which trips they would drop. If they had dropped to, or wanted to drop a big trip, you pretty much got what they gave you on substitution.

This is actually works out to be great a deal for anyone junior. For example, you conflict an entire 15 day RA block with training. Then build yourself a line with open time during the View Add window. All before the the #1 VTO is ever built!
To each his own, but the bottom line is if you want the BLG of your line and have training, your going to WORK EXTRA for less pay. THAT"S the bottom line.
