Perhaps and perhaps.
If you are a regular lineholder, green slips act as de facto "overtime"--because in order for the GS to pay premium, all the rest of your month must equal or exceed the GS trigger, which means that your GS that paid premium was for flying in addition to everything else.
There is ALREADY a mechanism in place for guys who take mil leave to get GS consideration per the contract, with premium pay included. It's called a reserve line. Outside this forum, I don't see any push by the company or the pilot group for mil leave to count against the regular line GS trigger. In fact in 20 years here I've never heard of the concept until recently on this site.
