Same thing happened to me in December. Was just trying to get my trip trade "Approved/Disapproved" so kept checking open time in case it was not approved. Got the locked out so who knows how long the crew notification took since I didn't log back in till the next day.. Ridiculous! And antiquated!

I've been locked out just looking at all the md-11 open trips for the CIC makeup bid thing. I wasn't even able to see every trip to decide my input before I reached the max. I complained to my ACP. There was nothing he could so, he said.

Good idea, I like it ... I had another VIPS automation thought years ago. Instead of discipline threats when folks forget to check in for their deviation trips, how about a phone call from VIPS saying, "You neglected to check in for your trip, perhaps you forgot? Would you like to check in now?"

BTW, I'm really motivated to support PBS now.
They can't use the technology they have now correctly! Secondary line errors have also been a running joke for years with no sign of improvement.

The Company again hands the advantage to the rule breakers.
The 100 Open Time limit per day just makes it more valuable to have a group of guys sharing passwords and bribing schedulers.
This is in addition to the advantage they handed to the rule breakers with the 'baby' CAPTCHA for trip trades. (see previous post)
Maybe the schedulers were denied a cash raise, and the fact that this will make any scheduler leak even more valuable, has been added to their 'overall' compensation package?
And my apologies to the schedulers. The inside info may be coming from a different group all together. But some advance inside information is leaking from somewhere to a very select group. 'Scheduler' was used as a generic term for insider information.

You don't need 100 if you know to start checking/submitting a minute prior that you know the trip is coming out.
Funny, a few months back when we were talkin about calendar blockers, a bunch of guys were certain... there aren't guys using bots, trip trading for each other or doing bad things

Maybe it was a pep talk?

I had the union inquire about this issue a couple of years ago. The answer came back that there were only a few guys locked out during the peak view/add windows and the company didn't see any need to lift the limit. They view these arbitrary limits as an allowance; hence, you should be careful where and when you spend it.
