Joke was on me, a guy senior to me took it at 50%. :(

Wouldn't it be easier to type 1.5, instead of 50%? You don't have to hold down the shift key for 1.5

Darn right it backfired! I have since instituted new pickup criteria: At the current pay rate, will I be ****ed off if I someone else picks up the trip while I dither? If the answer is "yes", I'll take it as is. In this particular example, I waited because I didn't really think anyone would take it before it hit 100%... and was ****ed when it went for less.

Why would a reserve get premium pay if they’re getting the trip anyway?

I guess the question I'm asking is why offer it at premium pay if there are reserves available?
