My last trip on the ER was with a very young and junior asian A-line. The bitter FAs in the van plus a Captain whose wife was a FA began to ask questions. He explained it all. He probably wasn't supposed to do that.
But he was young and junior.
Something about if you can get it in the first 15 minutes then first come first serve and you don't drop anything without contacting the designated person sitting at the computer that day handling everyone's trips for them. So you call to make a trade or drop and then that person looks on the list of who is up next and will log in for them and pick up said trip in that 15 minute window.
That was years ago and I can see why you'd get canned for it.
