Welp, the "You'll be junior forever and never touch a GS" theory went out the window quickly

That one GS can buy several European vacays where you're not restricted to 24-48 hours a visit.

Hmm.....haven't been on reserve in 9 years so don't remember how it works but I have 1 reserve day tomorrow then 3 off days. If I try to fly on the off days is that just a yellow slip or can I parlay that into a green? (Currently 80 hours for the month, 88A)

Looking in the PWA now.....

You can do either g or y. G will get you some pb days though

Y is straight credit toward guarantee with no payback days. G gets you straight pay above guarantee plus payback days. Not a subtle difference.

No argument. But he is already full at 80 hours. PB days are huge. Getting Y is easy. G may be harder. So if the goal is more cash....

Thanks. I'm up on the pros/cons of each, just wasn't sure what the effect res vs line holder made wrt to GS pay trigger. And if I could even get a GS on reserve. Thankfully hadn't been an issue for a while.

Thanks all!

One more thing, no gs trigger on res.

You could not fly on every res day (unlikely on 88). GS on x day and it still pays the same.
