If had a load of OTP to burn--which I have had a few times here….but wanted to make sure I got "my" charter, it would seem to me that I would need some help in two places…

First…rather than spend hours and hours and hours hitting refresh on the screen if I could just get ONE little clue as to when to be ready to hawk open time for a drop of some good trips or X pairings and….

Second…if I could have someone slow leak the trade processing so that even if someone did happen to magically see "my" charter and try to pick it up before I could, my OTP would trump their time stamp….

then, my friend, I would be an international charter flying M**********r, or "Wolf Pack" guy, whatever you call it.

I have in fact gotten a few nice trips with OTP, but even WITH that incredible cosmic voodoo I STILL didn't get that many trips. I have had OTP expire into regular makeup several times. I would miss a charter drop, or by the time I saw a trip and tried to get it with OTP it was already gone to someone else….on regular makeup. In short--OTP is cool--but a friend on the inside helping is even better.

Find the scheduling link, and you've solved the problem. Real time trip trading might solve the second part of the equation, but until you find the get rid of any insider info there is still a very uneven playing field.
