Pay me now, or pay me (maybe) later?
I know which I'll choose.

A good example of why you might wish to use MUS, MUD, or even MUV.
You have (one of these) banks. A trip pops into open time. DH to (your home town) operate or HTSBY or something easy, operate back to... your home town, DH to base. Great trip, easy to do, lots of credit for little time away. Problem is, everyone else thinks so too, lots of requests for M/U or VLT. Sure, you would love the money now, everyone does, but
requesting a trip is not the same as
getting it.
If you have a full or nearly full sick bank, this is a better play than hoping you can beat the BOTS. It isn't instant gratification, but its real money never the less.
