Most of the GS's that I don't acknowledge are for just this reason. I hate to take a 1 day GS on a Thursday then see a bunch of 3 days go out over the weekend. A GS raw score would solve that issue.
At one time GS's went in seniority order for every one. Then we limited them to 2 per pilot in seniority. In the late 90's we switched it to one. This is a better system then unlimited. Perhaps we could change it to after 15 hours of GS flying you go to the bottom of the list.
What we really should do is switch them back to double credit no pay and bring back bow wave. Delta would have to hire 2000 pilots over night!
