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.

I'd say you are one of the premier charter flyers that people are talking about. How about opening up the schedule and let us take a look?
You are limited at 300 VIPs checks a day. So how can you constantly be the first? You obviously check VIPs about at least once each minute? That lasts for about five hours...
So you are consistently faster than all of the other MD11 FOs?
