Wasn't there plenty of choices in there before the VTO lines were built??

I don't think you can use OTP during View/Add. You should get first dibs on Open Time when released. I was able to pick up a trip or 2 using OTP and the Crew Notification was sent within 1 or 2 minutes of the original request.

Use of 'advanced' technology and programs does not guarantee you get the first time stamp. It only narrows the odds a little bit because of all the computer/network variables involved.
IMHO, OpenTime should remain first-come, first-served; and, because of that it is and probably always will be a game of chance. These days there are just fewer opportunities to place a bet.

Seriously, I agree with FlybyKnite, that open time should be on a first come basis. That said, things aren't always fair, as we've all got things going in our lives that keep us away from the computer, like: flying; wives; girlfriends; keeping the two apart; fishing and hunting trips; etc, etc. It's a shame when you miss one of those great pop-up deals. Life sux, but it sure beats the alternative.JJ

So who is going to write the counter editorial for the jeflyer?
I agree, this guy is making a mad dash for more seniority benefits. Now that he is senior, he wants to change the rules to favor the senior. No hidden agenda here, it's all out in the open.
This system has worked great for a long time at FedEx. Quite honestly, if he wants to compare us to other airlines I wonder if he really wants to work here.

The guy isn't that senior. I don't think that's his angle. He's just one of those whiney, complainer types that likes to point out things that aren't "fair". If it's not fair to him, then he makes a big stink.
I'm not sure what guys expect these days. We are supposedly fat on pilots, so why does anyone expect there to be open time sitting around waiting for everyone to have a chance to peruse it. Leave the system alone, don't make it harder than it has to be.
