Go to section 23N and O in your contract. They have the entire trip coverage ladders. There are two depending on if the trip reports more than 12 hours away or less.

Its pretty complicated - here is the readers digest version for more than 12 hours. The ones people seem to care most about are bolded.

1. Recovery slips
2. White slips
3. Long call reserves
4. Short Call reserves
5. Reserve Pilots on an X day
6. OOBWS
7-17. Arcane combinations of long and short call pilots in and out of base
18. Greenslips
19. IP Greenslips
20. OOBGS
21. Rerouting pilots flying
22-29 Interrupted X days, assignments, and conflicts
30. Anyone that they can get.

Unless you get sick, then you forfeit your seniority and go to the bottom of the list.

This was a gem in the TA. I get the GS rationale but WS too?

Gonna be a short month after I dropped a trip not knowing I'd get sick.

Do you go to the bottom of the list or is that only if you would not have been legal for the GS if you flew the trip you sicked out of?

This aspect of the TA has both good and bad points. From your perspective you are being penalized and yet I have other guys say it prevents scammers from going to the top of the list.

If the company can keep the operation moving with reroutes, there might not even be a point at which scheduling needed to fill a trip via WS/GS in the first place.

You only go to the bottom of the list if the trip you want would not be legal to fly had you flown the trip you were sick on. You can thank your fellow pilots who were tactically sicking out to pick up Green slips. For pilots who use sick leave properly it can be a benefit because it will award that flying to the pilot who should have received it in the first place.

That’s not contractually legal. The company did attempt that to a certain extant however it was grieved and settled in our favor.
