With my short time here, coming from another airline, I would like to see real time trip trading over OTP/substitution. It seems kind of ridiculous to wait 90+ minutes to be denied a trip trade after the window opens. Just because you get rid of substitution and replace it with just being paid for the trip removed (like other airlines do it in some variation or other), doesn’t mean that you get stuck flying the trips that were originally awarded. Many other places have both real time trip trading and ability to drop/trade/swap trips throughout the month without losing pay.
