All of which potentially involve sodomy, but I’m sure that’s a coincidence.

Lol! I see your point on altar boy, Eagle Scout, and F15E. Not sure about M88B...

Has anyone ever seen it where you missed out on a greenslip because scheduling has a different standing request qualifiers than what you have in ICrew? I missed out on a greenslip this morning because they said I didn’t meet the parameters for the trip. When he read me my qualifiers they didn’t match to what I was showing on ICrew

If I understand the program correctly, it actually seems like an interesting program. It would be cool to get a peak behind the curtain in all the various areas that make this operation happen. It would probably help make sense of the goings-on of the day to day operation. I'm not really interested in management gigs, so I'm likely not their target audience.

Yeah I was actually really interested in the concept before the program existed, for that very reason. A peak behind the curtain, by just asking to sit with anyone in these random offices in ATL for an hour. But then the program started and the resumes of those selected are a lot of what you'd expect for management types. Academy, Thunderbirds, air medals for safe landings...

Just a guess but, if I was you, I’d check my standing qualifiers. If you haven’t done that in a while you may have forgotten exactly what you had in.

Print out all the qualifiers or take screen shots. Ask to speak to a scheduler and get paid for the trip. Make certain you’re correct and looking at the proper month. 31 Aug is the Sep bid period. I have never noted a error like you’re descibing.
One last point. All GS’s are now prefers, why have qualifiers?

Qualifiers used to filter the pool of calls one would get for a green slip that was yours. Now we must filter for calls we will get telling us we're in the group of pilots who just might get a green slip. Oddly enough, I've even been contacted for a single green slip, in a bucket of roughly 10 pilots, for which I and several others listed were shown as not eligible.

Some GS are worth the headfake, others are not.

Qualifiers are also handy when creating auto-acknowledge slips when flying or in sims.

Exactly. For instance, make sure you former NYC-based pilots haven't left a co-terminal qualifier in after you have AE'd to ATL. That will knock you out of the GS game too. Ask me how I know. 🙄
