Working on an X day
I'm new to reserve and have a question for the pros. What is the difference between putting in a green slip on an X day versus putting in a yellow slip to fly on your X day? I read through the contract and have a decent grasp on GS language for reserves but couldn't find anything about yellow slips on X days. I haven't yet flown this month so I wont be breaking guarantee which may make this a moot point.
