This is not about technology, it's just a convenient excuse or target. Of course, in his mind, it is the reason. For that "reason" he wants to change the whole system. Just for him. You don't need a computer program to tell you trips are in open time to get the first time stamp. You can get all the pages in the world but if you are sitting at a computer you will beat a pager watcher. You won't always win (he wants to win all the time) but you will get a trip here and there if you just watch open time. He just doesn't want to spend his precious time doing something so beneath him. Everything is about him and what he wants to do. He doesn't want anyone to have something he doesn't have first rights to when it's convenient for him. Notice I didn't say something he can't get. He has access to dropped trips from SOMEONE ELSE'S line just like the rest of us. No one should use seniority to get someone else's cast offs.
He doesn't even realize he is the pig and sure is doing the squealing. Everyone he talks to, FE, MEC and Jetflyer are putting up with his antics just to be nice. Someone needs to let him in on the truth.
He and his kind our the biggest danger to our group.
