Don't really see a reason to get nasty about any of this. Though after flying another all nighter I'm in a crummy mood too.

I have no problem with someone legitimately time stamping me, happens all the time, even though I check open time constantly. I do manage to enhance my schedule greatly, but it comes with a price.

As far as OTP, on the Airbus we're lucky if we get 6 hours in OTP every couple of months, so I can't imagine anyone is recycling OTP much in our seats. Almost never see a charter, so it leaves me to believe that we rarely have them. If, however, I found out that we had many (non flight test) charters, and the same guys were managing to get them all the time....that would be grossly suspicious. And I would want the union to demand that scheduling and management do some follow up. I would be pretty ****ed off if I was an MD-11 guy and this was happening all the time, with the same guys, for years.

Sure, many people can make their schedule far better. But charters every month for years? If that is true--that's fishy.
