In general, seems like the 90 second trades happen during the Sick Time Open time frenzy. Post 10 Memphis, or even worse-Sunday afternoon\evening...trades can take a looooonnnnggg time to process.



At some point in time, the person with OTP is going to be checking open time and as is the case currently, a trip's likely been sitting there for quite awhile. So long that those unused to dial up internet (or a Telephone Makeup request) are probably banging their heads and coming over to APC to post comments while simultaneously texting their friends how ridiculous it is that they have to WAIT, for anything.



But, it's been sitting there with maybe 2-5-17 submitted requests. All of which are for naught once the Trump Card of OTP is input.



And, as much as I like the idea of a generic OTP submission, my last OTP trip was an X pairing to a city combination not in my bidpack so there's No Way I could've expected that.



More than Real Time trading, I'd love to see SUB simply go away as a Paid event. But considering that FedEx cancels trips weeks in advance, just can't seem them agreeing to it.



And, to be honest, would be worried at what FedEx would do. Any CBA restrictions against revising a trip to a Memphis HSBY, for example?

You can make it so that you can also put in a request for any X pairing. So if any trips with your criteria, including X pairings, fall into open time, you get a notification (text alert) and if you want it, you pick it up.

Also, you can negotiate restrictions on trip revisions. For example, you can negotiate a prohibition on revising a trip before show time, preventing it from turning into a HSBY.
