Sorry if I'm not thrilled about seeing GS's going out to the senior line holders while at the same time I'm maxing out on SC's and RAW because there is less than minimal weekend coverage.
I agree, but I'll go back to the previous analogy, just because the 777 is rolling in GS doesn't mean that's a good thing for everyone else. Let's have more slots and fewer GSs, no matter what the category.
Put it this way, in my new hire class they brought someone in from scheduling to give us a tutorial on GSs and how in particular this one SLC 88 A was scoring a 140-160 hours of pay per month. They showed you how rolling thunder worked. Note they didn't come in and say, "yeah, GS pay is where we have to pay you double time. It was a concession on our part, we hate it, and we're going to make sure you don't know how it works. Thanks. Next subject..."
