If all this is explained in another thread or elsewhere, please let me know and I shall quietly slink away.

1. Are all Green Slips now a proffer thanks to ARCOS? Scheduling Handbook says GS are not a proffer but I’m confused—are all green slips handled in ARCOS now or is there sometimes just an in-person call?

2. The option for “award next day flying on 0700 PCS run” can only be selected to yes. If awarded something on that run, are you notified and is it a proffer? Sched Handbook says WS and RS awarded at 0700 are not a proffer and no notification occurs, but I want to make sure that doesn’t apply to GS.

Trying not to get myself in trouble as I first dabble in the GS world... thanks!

I hate to put a min report time during IROPS because I have seen trips that start with a deadhead to an airport I can drive to. You can put all kinds of limitations on GS like report after.....

Sure the report is in 15 minutes but that flight isn't going anywhere for 3 hours and it takes you 2 hours to get there. Why cut yourself out of a gs that scheduling would be fine with you covering?
