LOL Scambo...
Ok, so right there is something I'm not sure I've fully considered or understand, the 100block in 28 days limiting factor. Am I saying it right--it has to be BLOCK vs. FDP or duty day right? So, GS only pays when above ALV (I checked timecard and it says 75) So, if you're flying a hard block sched, you only can grab a 25 hr GS, correct?
--strive for high credit vs. block to help this, does that work?
-- and thus your statement, when at the trigger, only put in GS?
What about if you pushed some of the excess time you got into your bank, if any WS etc. above the GS trigger, which you can then use on a future month to achieve GS trigger while leaving the pot optimally full for others?

Not that everyone wants or cares to go to that length but just a couple of minutes of checking can go a long way.
Ok all that sounds good... but I feel like a dog looking at a nuclear bomb. Not sure I understand how those all interact to drive GS, particularly the SC assignments.
Keep talking, I think some of us are learning and getting smarter here, or at least I suspect I might if youz keep talking.
