In my category, there have been more green slips in the last 3 days than we normally get in an entire month (or 2-3 months in winter).

Either you're trolling or can't read?

NYC 320 has 14 GS today, plus an IA so far. There's a dozen or so trips reporting tomorrow that are still uncovered and there are delays today due crew staffing issues. Of the open trips reporting tomorrow, most report in the next 12-14 hours.

The really crazy thing is that today wasn't even the worst reserve coverage. Saturday and Sunday will be even worse!

I saw quite a few NYC rotations this summer offered as GS, then IA's that then go NOOP'd...rotation remarks at bottom said "could not cover"....so there was a point that folks said "thanks but no thanks" to multiple GS's this summer.

This. You gotta love the PR spin. Nothing to see here, we are running the airline fine. Move along.

I will say this though...my motivation will be a lot less cooperative next summer, if management is stonewalling us...

Ha, sorry I posted and walked away. I just couldn’t help myself. You just didn’t seem clear about your stance on guys flying GSs in your last post. Or the 5 before.
