I know a lot of these posts mention charters and that is true, the same guys are always getting the charters but it goes beyond that. The same bunch are also flying the really nice x pairings that show up with all the deadheads around the world. Charters are only part of the problem. I was also told the same thing that was stated earlier, there are bots that can actually go in and change the time stamp for their submission to be number 1 no matter how many have already been submitted. The guy who told me this seemed pretty knowledgeable on how the whole system works. He actually said there were 6 of them (many with employee numbers very close together - like same new hire class) and they actually had some cute name they called themselves. Can't remember the name but something like "It's all about me boys", no wait a minute, that's my name for them. True story that they have a name for themselves.
