Well he is a pilot, ran the operation with more pilots, and still made a ton of money. I think that was the point if the comment.

Pilots that bid reserve want more pilots so they fly even less, senior pilots who whiteslip and greenslip want less pilots so they can make more money, the average pilot group is somewhere in the middle.

Thursday was the longest taxi I have had in JFK in 18 years and I am told ATL was groundstopped. I think this was a weather not a pilot event.

Trying to. I tried to go at 60, but my 60% FAE wasn't there. Green slips should be an anomaly. Not a way of life. It's all guys talk about. With conflict would make more sense. Time off is what the job used to be, you know, quality of life. Lip service now. We have nothing over those ladies of the night.

They've offered KLOA's in my category too since May, yet there offering sometimes 5-7 GS's everyday, because there splitting trips due to not having the RSV coverage

When I'm your age I have similar goals. I hope to have enough streams of income that a Greenslip isn't worth my time. But for now each Greenslip is a significant increase to my Net Worth not to mention the investment gains down the road.

I think you have a short memory. If you had a longer taxi than the days when they lined us up on 2 taxiways and 13R to depart 22R, then DAL is gonna get fined. I sat there 3+ hours numerous times.

Or you have been blessed.

With conflict only makes sense for certain categories though. Pretty sure they wouldn't work in big ones... but I guess it is dependent on manning...
