JetBlue has had pilots fired for using flica on wifi while working a trip and/or having spouses work flica while they are flying. They got caught because someone who wanted a trip but got denied saw that the guy was flying when the transaction occurred and turned him/them in.
If you guys do that, and prove someone made a transaction while working a flight, they had to have given their password away and violated TOS. One guy getting caught and disciplined would probably be enough to reduce the number of people willing to risk it.

I love it... always a bunch of numbskulls who think there are "bots" picking up OT...
I do not even know where to begin to explain how logistically impossible this is. No one has bots.
If you have OT alerts, have your password and username prefilled on your phone, set up a short cut to OT live folder, and know wtf you are doing, it is not hard to snag trips....

I have a computer programming background, and while it is possible to program a bot to preform open time pick up and swaps, it would be beyond the knowledge of any pilot and would most likely produce undesirable results.

Gee thanks. You must be the ever elusive flica ninja, while the rest of us "numbskulls" fumble around wondering where all the good trips are.

Agreed, most people here have no idea what an open time alert is.

You may have a computer programming background, but you also have a background of calling the Denver police on your fellow co-worker pilots for very trivial petty matters.
And what makes you think a pilot couldn’t be smart enough to program a computer?

TOS
It is possible... and it’s been proven possible... señor chavez is right... I’m not smart enough to figure out how to do it... but I am smart enough to give some college computer programmer who knows what the hell he or she is doing a couple hundred bucks to make me one... if you’re calling us “numbskulls”, you’re either frighteningly ignorant or guilty yourself...

Yeah jetBlue was super sneaky about it... They ran a sting for a few months on pilots and flight attendants that were picking up trips in open time while they were flying at 35,000. They basically just watched quietly and made a list of violators. They were able to fire a ton of super senior flight attendants and pilots. In the end the rumor was that it was over 200 people. Mostly flight attendants.

The first massive round of firings happened before FlyFi was on barely any of the planes. I believe the termination grounds were due to sharing the Flica password rather than for being logged on to Flica from FlyFi. But I could be wrong and it could have been for both. Again that was the "Rumor"
