I'd really like to see 1.5x for any flying credit over 80ish or block over 70ish then 2.5x - 3x for GS. I'm not sure if there would be negative ramifications that I haven't considered.

The green slip numbers suggest they have never ran the operation like this before. You can’t just keep setting record green slips and saying they always did it this way.

So 11,000 pilots, all wh$$res, flying as much as they can? Yea, no downside there....unless you want progression of course
If you are number 1 on the seniority list....works just fine, but productivity gives when you are the bottom guy are cumulative and catastrophic.

According to the Green Slip tracker that ALPA posts, 2019 was had a record number of Green Slips when compared to past years ... by A LOT. This will probably be surpassed by 2021.

On one hand, plenty of pilots who went NQAT or UNA saw their paychecks drop considerably. So..GS good, yes?

On the other hand, having all that time off and still being able to pay the bills on a reduced salary? (not everyone, I know) Maybe life is more than being able to brag about GS.

Based on the rolling thunder and GS grabbing on some fleets/bases, I'd say GS are just as popular as ever. The end of summer numbers will tell the tale.

That’s an easy fix.

if Delta awards it to you via your PBS bid, it pays extra. You pick it up off open time or pilot swap board, it doesn’t.

As for GS, it should pay like an IA...double with no trigger. If I’m picking up over time to help the company out of a jam, there should be no trigger.

My guess is Delta will want to reduce the multiplier to 1.75 or 1.5 in exchange for something relatively inconsequential to them (positive space commute?). Stand strong on the 2x GS multiplier.
As someone that lives in base I wouldn't vote for that in a million years. In fact, I feel the locals should get something NOW for not utilizing this LOA provision. A Jelly of the month club subscription would be alright.

Now that's a gift that keeps on giving all year long!

Nope, I drop my entire line and then pick up what I want. IAs should be the only option, double time regardless of your credit. Paying you a premium to come in on an off day.

Greenslips are a good thing for pilots. Funny reading posts on here complaining about greenslips, or saying too many are going out. If you don't want to fly them, then don't..
