I overheard a guy on the employee bus talking about asking the company to change his green slip to a yellow slip on his days off. He didn't want to lose the chance to fly on his next on-call days. He basically bragged about flying every single day he could for the past several months--one month he said he flew 23 days in a row. His RAW was 233.
I'm not making this up. We are our own worst enemies.
