I probably shouldn't have used the word recycling as it may cause someone to not read the complete thought without forming a bias.
This is what he said, so I'm still giving him credit for pointing out what the original intent of being able to re-gain your OTP status was for.

The problem becomes when guys figure out how to drop a trip, have a buddy pick it up and then they take it from their bud. Or they pick up OTP, drop it and immediately pick up the same trip. That's the real issue and the "blank check" that you reference.
