If you're so close that you don't know if you're getting a line or not, whatever line you might get is not going to be commutable anyhow, and will probably stink either way.
The G line has nothing to do with the concept of global solution constraints. It is simply just another variable that must be satisfied as a part of the final solution. No different than he line production floor/cap. The final solution must have x pilots get a line.....period.
LUAL Adopt/Kronos didn’t have a G line but had the same Global issues that will lead to some abrogation of seniority in order to stay within the company specified solution constraints while building a legal schedule for all.
At least the G line tells those above it they will have a line if they want one. Those below it should assume they will be on reserve. Pretty simple.
