We have chosen to capture this short term opportunity with the flexible staffing model within our PWA called CIRCUMVENTING THE CONTRACT. There aren't near as many GS opportunities on the WB side, because the 737MAX didn't change the summer staffing requirements as drastically.



If the suitcases full of money are too heavy, submit an FCR to have payroll use $100s instead of $20s.

+12,000 green slips in July

Previous record was 8,600 in June 2019.

That's an almost 40% increase.

I don’t think that figure is actual green slips. I believe the company keeps track of green slip duty periods. Still that’s a heck of a lot....

You're right. It still beat the previous record by 40%.

Not quite true. Drops and swaps, other than on the days you are currently flying, go out the window because of undercoverage. So quality of life takes a hit.

Yep. I was unable to do my usual swapping of days off at all due to no reserve coverage in August. Whatever PBS generates (and unstacks to) is what you keep.

Where’s sailing to tell us that 12,000 GS duty periods is nothing compared to the early 2000’s? :D

Where is a moderator when you need one ?......oh...wait a minute....hailing 80kts

Guess it's ok with that smiley face? kudos on this post ...at least this time you didn't accuse Sailing of lying as you so often do, more of an insinuation:D

Note....see the smiley face? That makes it all ok...right?
