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.

If they use a program to move themselves to the number one time stamp, and it can be proven by either the company or the union, than they should be fired. All of them. Period, end of story.
I think "falsification of a company document" would fit this crime. If they are doing this, and it can be proven, it is a crime against their fellow crew members.
There is supposed to be a rule for draft assignment to "spread the draft around". Perhaps it is time for the union and company to come up with a rule to spread the charters and x-pairings around.
I call upon the union to address this in a timely manner, which means yesterday, as it has gone on for far too long already.
