Not correct. The only "problem" with real time trading, is that according to the NC there will not be a time period where trips are sitting in open time waiting to be assigned. The time delay is preferable to the NC so that those with OTP can pick up trips that others have put in for already. If we have Real time trading, once someone puts in for a trip it will be awarded, so the slop time of trips being assigned will not be there for the OTP guy to take advantage of priority. An OTP guy will still be able to pick up at 125% with real time trading, they will just lose the ability to jump someone if there is no one waiting because trips are immediately assigned.

The idea of waiting so someone can get priority is really just way past its time. OTP can still be useful with "priority" if they just put a 5 min OTP window in the open time window when the next month opens. Then the OTP guys can have their requests in before everyone else and if they miss the 5 min window then they are just like everyone else (except at 125%).
