It must not be that painful if we've got pilots doing multiple IA's in a month. So for all practical purposes IA's have been a "no trigger GS" for quite a few years now. That is certainly how pilots have been treating them since the company ramped up the 23.M.7 abuse.

In my opinion I think we need to get IA's moved to ARCOS. So anyone with a GS request in will get the GS call and it will be awarded in seniority order. Then when they go to IA's the call list will be all eligible pilots regardless of slip status, and it would be properly awarded in reverse seniority order plus it would be leveled properly where someone couldn't rack up multiple IA's in a month without everyone else getting a fair chance.
