You're OTP is only good for 2 bid periods. No matter how many times you recycle it, it's still only good for the 2 bid periods after you get it. Plus, these charters are 45 ch and above. I don't see how they can get that many OTP hours to cover it continuously.
One of the permanent charter pilot has already got a 60+ ch charter this month and was able to snag another 45+ charter today.

Post the details and let others take a look. I personally get a lot of sweet OT trips but that is the result of nearly 300 pings a day when I'm actively searching to change my schedule. I recently had one that was FRZ and then I got it...then it was CNX then appeared again as a different pairing #. Would like to know more...

VSTOLG4 I'm not familiar with the 757 charter/OT scene - are there serial abusers who always end up on the good deals? In my seat if I see a sweet charter pop up I can name 5 people who will get it, and 90% of the time I will be right.
If that trip that you got that was CNXed and showed up again with a new pairing number ended up in the lap of one the "chosen few" then you need to tell the union about it. We can argue OTP recycling all day, but having skeds recycle a pairing number to get the "right" guy on it is WAY out of bounds.

OTP is good till the end of the 2d bid period after getting it so in practice it's almost 3 months. Also a lot of these charters get cancelled and individuals get offered sub which is then denied hence new OTP clock for new OTP

There is at least one Charter boy in ANC. I went to look at his calendar....BLOCKED. Similar seniority and about 8000 employee numbers apart. Man this ****es me off - its like stealing when the playing field is not level.

It was hinted to me back in Oct 13 that some individuals were getting some focus due to this issue. I guess there's nothing they can do about it or it seems like it would've already been done.
Calendar blocking...sheesh.

The top three guys who get the charters also have their calendars blocked.
