Scheduling doesn't love the blanket green slip guys. Quite the opposite. I know because I've talked to several schedulers including supervisors. It wastes their time when they're trying to get trips covered and working thru the phone list.
I'm obviously not going to convince you.
Show me the PWA reference that says gravity exists.
Oh, well I guess it doesn't.
Keep thinking that if you want. You're 100% wrong though, and so much so that its not even worth debating. I've literally done what you are pontificating about dozens and dozens and dozens of times. You are allowed (and encouraged) to put in blanket GS requests, for ALL bases at the same time. When they call, tell them where you are and if it works you'll get it and if not they move on no jeopardy.
If they didn't have blanket GS guys, they'd have to Junior Assign WAY more trips. As in the robocaller vortex of no return. LOL. Yeah, that one.
Everyone gets that except you for some reason. So feel free to adjust your GS requests hourly as you travel around town, have a drink, get tired, have things come up, etc. Don't forget to include a rolling 10 hour rest window that adjusts live and real time IAW your schedule as it develops. Other pilots who get your GS will thank you, and so will crew skeds for saving them 10 minutes.
Still waiting on that DALPA declatory judgement saying blanket GS are illegal unless you are in position to do 100% of any possible trip imaginable.
