Senior pilots not willing to fork over money to play the game are envious of junior people who are savvy and able to get primo trips that would Normally go to senior pilots. In a perfect world APA would run a LightSaber type app that everyone could use. AA won’t let them because you have to give them your password and that is against AA policy. They can’t stop anyone from giving a password to a third party but they can stop APA from getting it.

They are trying to make it fair. I don’t care one way or the other. I never use TTS. Now it looks like I will have to.

the moral of the story is we all want more liberal trip trading to better our schedules. Will 2.0 fix it? I doubt it. The only way would be make every trip green. That is not happening.

That $20/month for LiteSabre might break those senior wide body captains with their measly pay rates. I'm glad the union is saving me from this future horror by thrusting a bigger one on me now.
