These guys are doing it.
I don't think you can use OTP or M/U in a SCK footprint. But, you can pick up a trip MUS in the SCK footprint. MUS doesn't rise to the top of the heap like OTP does, does it? If not, then picking up nice trips in a SCK footprint implies they are either hawking open time legitimately, or perhaps there's inside knowledge, collective action, or something else we haven't hit on yet?

One thing I haven't seen discussed is possible "Wolfpack" tactics. Do we know if the pack is picking up everything they can collectively, then swapping it among themselves? What happened to the x-pairing JS was on, that he no longer has...does one of the other "Wolfpack" brethren now have that trip or was it cancelled?

I also noticed that many of the "Wolfpack" appear to call in SCK a lot--especially over Thanksgiving and Christmas.
