What does the MEC have to do with this?

And I think we need a new version. After green slips but before IA, we should have Assignment. Premium pay with no trigger, proffered in seniority order. Plenty of folks senior to an unwilling junior assignee would take a trip for double pay, having passed on the trip as a greenie because their schedule was light and it won't generate enough fiscal incentive to fly short-notice.

My hunch is green slips effectively pay out at less than 150%. Snapping them all to 200% would be an expensive change.

Maybe so. But that would only be because they intentionally put themselves in the crisis situation by delaying adequate hiring until intentionally past the breaking point. Failure to plan indeed constitutes an emergency on our part.

I forgot to mention, which I’m not sure why it would need to be spelled out but GSs don’t just mean voluntary flying for double pay.
GSs mean lack of staffing. Lack of staffing means no ability to drop trips and adjust schedule. Lack of staffing means high ALVs. High “optimized” ALVs means guys are working harder and getting fatigued. Lack of staffing means reroutes to cover flying that would normally be covered by a reserve. I can keep going but I certainly hope you get the point.
We took a huge hit in QoL this summer. So instead of asking why is the union waging a war against green slips, maybe we should be asking why you and the company are waging a war against our QoL?

This sounds fake. Reroute protections for reserve are identical to line holders. And if they were routed an additional 4 days, they would get a big pay day. My guess is they ended the trip and gave him a 4 day right after during on-call.

They couldn't have done that. He would have had PB days from the greenslip he just flew covering his next on call days.
