Recycling is a loophole but is wrong. I think almost everyone can agree that OTP is intended to be used as a one time good deal to repay for a slight that member received at some point. You cut the line ONCE & get 125%. It was never meant to be a scheduling tool to improve your life unfairly for almost 3 full months. This practice of OTP to cut the line, then dropping and picking back up with general m/u to replenish your OTP bank...rinse & repeat...needs to stop
OTP is good till the end of the 2d bid period after getting it so in practice it's almost 3 months. Also a lot of these charters get cancelled and individuals get offered sub which is then denied hence new OTP clock for new OTP
