You said it hurts you that people are picking up OT trips?
HEY!! Wake up and smell my boxers!!! Of course, I'm advocating that you shouldn't pick up open time.
It hurts me!! And everyone else that is trying to pick up those trips. Actually, I mostly just try to trade with open time. But, just the same. If you pick them up...I can't have them.
So, yah. I think its stupid for anyone to pick up A300/capt trips.
Any other seat or plane...Have at it.

yea right...
I've got 400+ hrs in my m/u bank, and use open time as a schedule adjustment tool when I'm out of sick leave - which is most of the time due to my kids bringing home bugs from school.
As a commuter, there's now way I could rely on draft/volunteer for anything other than giving myself a MEM hotel standby over Chirstmas, and hoping they'll call. Ain't gonna happen.
Everyone should fly as much open time make up as they want to - so it hurts more when we decide that we need more family time.

Make up is just that, make up. You dropped a trip for whatever reason and now are making it up to get back that part of your compensation. Anyone who has a problem with you doing that is an idiot. You are not doing anything extra you are simply getting what you were entitled for.
