They have an endless pot of OTP hours because right or wrong I think the drop dead date on using the OTP gets reset everytime they do it. Nice huh?

They also have bots that read the Company's lame CAPTCHA codes for a trip trade. They get an extra few seconds on every trip trade they do. Company should either put in real CAPTCHA or remove it entirely.

CAPTCHA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In an attempt to not upset the pilot force, they made it simple to read. So simple any hacker can write code to answer the challenge.
So it has the exact opposite of the intended affect. Gives the hacker the advantage, while being a nuisance to the rule abider.
