The problem is when you notice it they *usually* put it back. So the people they are stealing from don't realize it has happened. Even if it is just 5% of the pilots not checking rainmaker it adds up.

It is SUPER common. It mostly happens on existing pairings where everything falls apart, not so much on VDA trips (although it has been a while since I did one of those).

You have to check rainmaker a couple weeks after the trip. The next day won't work as it will be there.
