Sorry to hear that. Problem was for a while some (even well meaning folk) were using traditional Bidline as part of the sales pitch. Under that system you'd often see at least 3 days of between trips and still have a chance of making CAP. As you say the reality has very rapidly changed and now on many lines you're more likely to see 2 days off. Worse still is if you've got have by good fortune got a big gap in your published line regardless of how hard you've worked previously you'll need to consider opting to do extra work yourself or risk being Assigned work in the gap, so even if you've made CAP there's no respite, something that was utterly utterly unthinkable even a couple of years ago.
