[quote=RockyBoy;756168]I agree. If you are a commuter, you will never get a GS unless you are hanging out in base for no reason with nothing to do. Even if you live in base, a good portion of the GS awards come with a report of less than 2 hours which make it tough for alot of guys to accept. GS are NOT as common as some make then seem. For 2009 I had a blanket GS request in for the entire year and was called 4 times. 2 of those calls were for reports ASAP which I could not do, so I did 2 GS trips the entire year. I would have made alot more money with the 1.5X pay above 80 even with the cap we have.

Rocky,

Maybe you would...... initially, but I think the issue is a lot more complicated than that. What happens if a lot of guys start trying to flying 85 or 90 hours every month? Remember the law of unintended consequences.
