I'm pretty sure I know who it is. Literally just picks up anything that pops in, and then throws it on the trade board immediately after if he doesn't want it. This guy has been ****ing a lot of people off lately. There's nothing illegal about this, just extremely poor etiquette towards your fellow pilots.

I used to get ****ed when guys would do this . However I have learned over the last 3 1/2 years that you need good trips as leverage in order to trade Into better ones in order to make your schedule more effiecint .
I ll admit I do it the time and it works into my advantage to trade into efficient trips with guys more senior to me cause the trip I have works better for them and the trip they have works better for me esp as a commuter .
My goal is to get as much credit I can with the days I am awarded to work . Meaning if I am awarded 18 days off I want to work my tail off during the 12 days . Don't give me crappy 3 day 10
Hour trips during those 12 days . Give me torturous long and hard days . Then let me enjoy my time at home. I dont like going below my days awarded off cause I feel that could be a new pilot job .
Perfect example , I was lucky to snag a 10.5 hours single day island turn 2 weeks ago. It was smack in the middle of 8 days off . So didn't work with my schedule . So I immedialty put it on the trade board and witched with a guy who had the same trip that worked with a 4 day that I already had . What's wrong with this senecrio ? Why is this poor pilot etiquette ?
Haters gonna hate but anyone can do the same thing to make their lower seniority schedule better .
It's the game the company forces us to play with the massive amount of un efficient and uncommutable trips we have .

Ahhh I don't know.... Maybe because someone might want to work that trip?
*** do I know though.
And what do you do when you don't get someone to pick up your trip?
Your bot doesn't know you don't want to work on your days off?

I have nothing against someone picking up a trip and then trading said trip. What I think is poor etiquette is just picking trips up every single day, and then just immediately dumping them as "drop", not even trade. So yah, I feel thats poor etiquette to just snag every trip that meets your flica criteria without even looking at it, then once you see it say, nahhhh drop. When someone else might have wanted that trip is now maybe out of wifi, or just pushed, or even just generally busy. But then again, what I think is poor etiquette is only my personal opinion, you may not see that the same way. Some people hold doors and say thank you, some don't....to each his own.

No one is requiring you to play the flica game. You can absolutely fly your awarded line without you're phone buzzing with the alerts.
But if you do play the game, don't complain when someone else gets something you wanted. Whatever they're using it for. Because every time you DO get that sweet swap/drop/add, there's someone else out there who was a little bit slower than you. That's how the game works.
