Default Pilotswap and Open time

There seems to be a trend with the just released Open Time showing up on Pilotswap shortly after it has been picked up. If you don't want to fly the trip why in the world are you picking it up. The only way to get rid of crap trips and not drop below 60 hours is with open time, Oh yeah and even if it isn't a complete turd of a trip how is one supposed to trade with a pilot swap guy with 100+ hours and only 5 open days to trade into.

I feel better now. I'm talkin MEM Bus here to ease the research process if anyone is so inclined.

Holy smokes, Batman!

Any trade ideas considered? Not possible since he flies everyday!

Unlike the majority here, I don't have a problem picking up a little extra flying. But picking up every trip in sight with the hopes of one more sweet trade is ridiculous. This guy needs a blanket party for sure!

Are you talking about the guy who needs a pm out&back on the 17th, or he'll go noncurrent? The guy has bid stby in CAN and CDG for the last 3 months, and now needs a landing on one of his only days off. I say he can get current in the sim during his training later in the month.

And looking for a vacation swap... That is the one! With all that blue on his calendar, you would think he could get 1 landing a month??

This would be funny if it weren't so sad, We are now at 116+ hours with 1 day maybe available for all the trip trade offers.
