Any trips in Open Time get processed every three hours automatically by the computer (no human). And the trips are awarded by seniority -- the way it should be. None of this "earlier time stamp" crap.
When you were junior, wasn’t it great to be able to trip trade and improve your schedule in time stamp order. Senior guys got to exercise their seniority rights while bidding but YOU had a chance to fix that junior schedule if you were willing to spend the time checking OT. I’m sure folks that are junior would like to have the same ability to improve their schedules.
No thanks. Changing to seniority based trip trading would be very divisive.
