I was being sarcastic. GSs are not regularly available to all bases/equipment

Qol gouge. Drop down to 72-75 hours. Pick up 1 2-day GS. 93-96 hours for 14-15 days total work. Throw in 4 weeks vacation and 4 sick calls (when you're sick), you're only working 10-11 days per month for 8 months of the year. You'll average 95 hours per month and still enjoy qol.

I will gladly trade you schedules. You can have the 9 green slips I've flown since the beginning of April.


I am pretty sure he did not get hired into this position.

I was attempting to imply that getting lots of money to stay at home isn't the worst thing in the world

OOfff's right. (Ugh).

The true story won't be written until the end of the year and a comparison is made between 2021 and previous years.

As long as IA's aren't a thing, it's hard to get upset about it one way or the other. Being unable to drop anything as a lineholder is probably more relevant.

IAs are voluntary, too

Refresh my memory, no sarcasm.

I don't believe ARCOS is currently set up for IA's. As a practical matter, if you don't answer your phone, it's difficult to get an IA.

Can you be assigned an IA mid rotation via ACARS, for example?

Not really necessary because the GS, and more specifically, GSWC is such a sweet deal there's apparently no limit to the amount of pilots who will pick them up. Fine by me.
