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?
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.
The green slip trigger is on your time card as you said. Yes fly high credit and you can get more green slip time - to the extent of the credit vs block time.
The pre-117 paradigm for everyone was to fly extra, white slip, in vacation months and to premonth swap low time one days for high time 3 days... You can't do that anymore...well, you can only to the extent your 28 day look back allows it....green slip is the new white slip.
Look, if you are willing to fly it for single pay, why not fly it for double.
