Later in the month I submit a GS. I'm offered a GS. Does this reduce how much I am paid for the GS? If it does reduce the pay, how?
Enquiring minds and all that.
Here is the way I see it. Say I'm awarded three 4-day HKG worth 27 hours each. That's 81 hours of hard time leaving 19 hours to possibly green slip. But, of course, there are no 19 hour or less trips in my category. Currently, if I get sick on one of those trips, I still get paid for 81 hours but since my actual time is now at 54 hours, I've got 46 hours I can use to get a GS after I get well.
The TA would count that sick time as "actual" and I would still only have 19 hours to green slip. Just like if a had flown all the trips and not called in sick.
That's my understanding. White slip and green slip are the same in this situation.
