Check out the open time for the next bid period. I would be willing to bet UPS is *&itting themselves about how to meet service, especially out of Asia. Aren't we the ones bringing the iPad to the US in the coming week? I sure hope UPS hasn't put their customer's contracts at jeopardy with this shortsighted decision to announce a furlough.

Good question, his position says -400 below his avatar, but it could be dated...
Has the trading all closed out? Or can more OT disappear?

I ran out of reserves on the 4th line down--no more RSCA, RSCP, or RSVB available for that one. We can guess that JA2 might be available, but how long can the company keep that up? Note that the first 8 OT trips coincide by at least one day. Also note that the first 12 of 13 OT trips coincide by at least one day. There also, as always, is a lot of CQ, MIL, etc time happening that conflicts with possible assignments.
All Players, don't forget that when trading trips, do not increase by more than 5 hrs. Also, don't forget that the company asked for relief on the OTJA ban just a few days into it 2 months ago.

YMMV
