1) if you're going to get min guarantee anyway - YES
2) if you're not getting guarantee anymore, and just trading one trip for another (and not getting paid more than straight time) then you're
trip trading,
not picking up open-time - NO

I don't have a problem with picking up open time to get back to minimum guarantee (after say, you swapped a trip that now put you below it by 4-5 hours - that's okay in my book).
I read that to say either:
1) I have a 75 hour min guarantee and a 75 hour awarded line. I swap a 20 hour trip for a 15 hour trip that puts me @ 70 hours. I pick up a trip out of open-time to get me back to 75 hours. I'm going to get 75 hours of pay anyway, it's my
guarantee.
2) I have a 75 hour min guarantee and a 85 hour awarded line. I swap a 20 hour trip for a 15 hour trip that puts me @ 80 hours. I pick up a trip out of open-time to get me back to 85 hours, my awarded line value.
Neither of these are ok in my book if guys are on furlough.
If this is
not the situation being presented, my apologies.
