Same as having a computer logged in and auto trade.
Same as hacking the CAPTCHA, which has the stated purpose of having a person and not a computer read the challenge.
Instead of telling us to all be sheep in the name of unity, why not use this to unite our force. It is the one percent who are breaking the rules and cheating on the rest of us, why not let the 99% unite on this issue?
This does not have to affect the negotiating table in any way at all.
Now quit preaching unity means silence and let guys that have valid beefs express themselves.
Nowhere, never have I said or implied that unity means silence. What I DO believe is that we ought to be pointing our fingers at the REAL enemy, and it's not each other. The problem here is The Company, and we're defending them.
I am not advocating giving your password to anybody else. There is no prohibition against storing your password and your e-grid on a secure computer. I'm willing to bet you have yours stored.
I am pointing out that The Company did not have an issue in the past with having a program to log on and conduct legitimate transactions while the pilot is otherwise occupied.
Why is it a problem now but not then? I don't believe that's the real problem at all. The real problem is bandwidth, and it is exacerbated by our ridiculous Trip Trade system.
So, you state the CAPTCHA "has the stated purpose of having a person and not a computer read the challenge." You imply The Company
wants that function to be performed by a person and not a computer. Well, that's nice. There are a few things we want, too. Do you suppose they'll give us everything we want? I don't. Nor do I believe we should hand them everything they want. If they want it badly enough, let's see the CBA language they propose. Maybe we can bargain. As it stands now, there is no such restriction.
And as it stands now, The Company is using our jealousy to divide us.
