Interesting.... that trip is on revision 2. The original trip paid 70:39. It may be frozen to keep it from being placed on a VTO line, since the bid pack low line credit was 60:00, and the revised trip is WAY outside the 13:00 max spread between low line and high line credits.

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out, and what ALPA does with it. Left alone, it gives manglement a vehicle to build very low lines, all within 13:00, and then later modify the trips that they need to move the freight on the far side of the world.
