"My understanding regarding OTP is the advantage is they get to cherry-pick trips before the VTOs. Once the new bid month is released into open time, it's every man for himself and OTP no longer gives you any advantage. Am I right or am I rillo? So all these charters becoming available after open-time release has no relevance to OTP."
I obviously understand very little, but....I think you're right, but the priority you have to cherry pick trips before the VTO's is just in the monthly make-up bid, and is not considered OTP. OTP is when you have a trip cancelled and instead of going into sub status, you decide to go into OTP. Anyone?
