I know this is in the guidelines and I cannot tell you how many posts have been made asking people to limit the subject line to the start point and zip code to the end point and zip code.
If everybody does that almost every problem goes away. It couldn't be simpler. Yet on a daily basis we see subject lines that don't have either location listed. Those likely are read by very few pilots.
I have comented about subject lines that say "Urgent" or must transport on a specific date. When a subject like that shows up it tells pilots there is no flexibility and any pilots that have a schedule, or need to have good weather will also ignore those posts.
We all have schedules in our lives and limited time. Make the transports flexible as to the timing of them, and post the critical data relating to the start and end points in the subject and more eyes will look at the post.
