pretty rare i would suspect. OOBWS going below in base green slips preserves the seniority and flying opportunities of the pilots in that base. It also would protect green slip coverage. Ya payroll would go down but who is being harmed? The pilot who we all know is 99% unlikely to be able to fly the trip they got skipped for? Not hatin the players but the game is f’ed.
QS will be the new GS 2/3 etc. Get a decent 3 day GS #1 farther out then your other premium trips will be QS. Almost no short trips will pop up far enough out to get through a GS roster to G#2 except in very small categories.
