See above

I think the green slip system is a great part of our contract, but I think there's room for improvement. For example, I know I've missed out on green slips for the next day when I was flying at the time. I'm curious if it would be possible to accept a trip while flying, similar to how reroutes are sent.
If I want a gs when I'm flying, I call skeds before I leave and tell them I will accept any gs during my flight. They will put a note on your sked and you will get the gs if it's yours.
