The company's job is to publish open time. The method and how how often you check open time is up to you, FX Cal, BidX, browsers or the phone. But to my knowledge, there is absolutely no way around the 300 open time hits. If you've figured out a way around this restriction, then you are in the wrong. When I hit 300, I go to bed or wait for a text from another pilot who's still checking.
As to why they have their calendars blocked, I can't answer that. It's a personal choice. But, if all my activities were being discussed and criticized over the internet then I would consider it also. The guy who is the best at it, opened his calendar and he got blown up by everyone on this board. I can tell you they're not doing DRF/VOL if that's what you're worried about.
Don't worry, they are doing the same crappy trips as you and I. But, those trips don't get talked about. People only highlight the good trips they get. I've beaten them to the good trips and I've gotten ETS by them. I don't cry and whine about it. I move on and try and find the next trip.
Hope this helps.
So V1,
You think this cheater and the rest of the wolfpack fly crappy trips like the rest of us? What planet are you on? Have you actually looked at his schedule? All he flies are X-pairings and charter trips, trips most of us only dream of getting. He knows NOTHING about flying the crappy trips the rest of us have to. Yet, he gets great x-pairings month after month. He just picked up a coveted x-pairing while he's currently on a coveted x-pairing in Europe. And you're going to sit there and lecture the rest of us how he is doing this honestly? It's mathematically IMPOSSIBLE for this to happen every month legitimately and honestly. If you think he and the rest of this wolfpack are acquiring these x-parings/charter trips "honestly" then you're either not very bright or you are aware of how they are stealing these trips which then makes you complicit.
