Ok, I'll bite.
Do you think it's possible that some people getting better open time trips have put more genuine, HONEST, hard work into improving their calendars than some of the conspiracy theorist on this message board? Unfortunately because of their success they are persecuted by the jealous vocal minority. This ignorant perception of those that have become experienced, efficient, fast, knowledgable at trip trading has forced some to block their calendars in hopes of not being harassed. I'm sorry this is harsh, but come on guys. I for one wouldn't risk this wonderful career by doing anything illegal, shady, or unacceptable to my union brothers. I can only speak for myself, but if I've been tried and convicted, as I have, based on flatly false accusations then I wonder if the other "offenders" are maybe honest as well.
