Default Pickup Requests

Since the trades are beginning to run tomorrow, I started entering my trade requests. I normally just enter the desired window (January 30-February 10 for example) and then say 4 days. Then submit another trade for 3 days, and another for 2, so on so forth. I do this throughout the month.

What're your best ways to submit a a pickup when you're not picky with any factors other than picking up trips? Are there any good tutorials on this?

I wish I could just say pick up any work that doesn't cause a CBA or 117 violation no matter when it is in the month.

Thanks!

Do you live in base? If using crew companion set the real time trade window to whatever tolerance you can stand. I.e. if you click real time trade window and set it to say four hours, it’ll pick up something that drops into open time at 0100 for a 0500 report. You miss it however and it’s on you so beware

My point being is just to know what you’re potentially setting yourself up for if you click that box.
