He said that he is flying somewhat subpar trips but the pain seems to go away once the 15th of the month paycheck has been deposited.
Anyway, it's something to think about for any potential new hires with their sights set on a career at Delta.
If you drop your whole schedule then wouldn't your first 72-75 hours of greenslip flying pay at straight pay?
Is it not true that only green-slip flying above the G/S trigger counts pays at 200%? Not counting the maximum 5 hours of bank that can be credited to the G/S trigger.
Why not just pick up G/S's above your initial schedule? Why use 4-5 greenslip awards just to get equal your initial line - this would put you at a 4-5 G/S disadvantage to other guys trying to pick up their first G/S's?
