True about WS and I’m fine going back to that. But not true about GS. They were not proffers in every single way that mattered. I passed on dozens and dozens, you wouldn’t be able to do that if they weren’t proffers. All you had to do was not answer the phone and they moved on.
You could even go into Icrew and view the trip to see if you liked it. As long as you didn’t enter your pin, they moved on after 10 min. They were “technically” not proffers in the same way IAs are “technically” now inverse.
Let’s keep GS the way the are. Fix the OOBWS problem and if that’s not enough make WS not proffers like they used to be but leave GS alone, they have a good enough take rate not to bog down trip coverage.
