I used to see guys sitting #1 on SRM list and sees a 11.5 hour one day pop open last second with no reserve coverage. (flight out, and DH back from HI). I pounced on those trips. 11.5 hours in one day, are you kidding me?! Too easy with the nice nap on the way home and back home by 11 PM. Yet the #1 guy is all ****ed off because he expected to get the SRM pay for it. So anyone junior shouldn't jump on a good deal? The arrogance. Mine was no Premium Pay. It's a gamble to wait. I've done it before and it worked out, and other times, i said no way, 50% is a great deal and took it.
It’s not arrogance, it’s called cooperation. If we all work together we all benefit. It’s all about you though, and we’ve seen those types too.
I do the same thing Sux just described, as do most of the guys in my BES. I watched five 50% trips sit in open time all day last month. Around 1800 they all went to 100% and everyone on the SRM list vanished. I was not a beneficiary but it made me smile to see it play out. Good thing there werent a bunch of you’s.
