Most likely not. If we really cared, we would all trip drop to the limit and nobody would do any trip trading. But we will have people to drop a 15 hour 3 day and pick up an 18 hour 3 day. They will claim it was more commutable, etc. Or they will drop a trip on a day that there is a lot of coverage and pickup a trip on a day where there was no coverage saying “QOL” when in fact they are helping the company without knowing it. The company will fully utilize its control of the trip trade system to their advantage.

But people want to rationalize aggressive PU or trip trading, when it helps the company.

If I were the company and lineholders stopped picking up trips in a way they did in the past, I’d just have less lineholders and more reserves. I’m sure that would make a lot of people not happy.

We need to have a max pay cap of 75 hours, and no trip trading. That’s the only thing that will help bring furloughees back.

There is so much hypocrisy here it is sickening.
