Way back when we had an instantaneous system at UAL. You looked up Open Flying and if you worked more hours and started earlier the trade went though immediately. If it was less hours or later it went through as long as there were a set number of reserves unassigned on that day. Once the number of reserves reached a limit (something like 6 or 7 guys) the trades were limited to earlier and more time on the same day. That was "the Bomb" and everyone benefited. THAT is what we need our boys to get back in the next contract, anyone agree?
