Fortunately for him (and for all of us, really) his peers were able to educate him out of asking something that asinine and he just got a pad like everyone else.

Last year people were getting GS#9 in the summer months.
In Oct, I think less than 9 went out the entire month.
For Nov, first month in a long month where the whole month had positive RES Coverage (available > required) so it’s been real slow so far.
Most GS will be over the weekend and the holidays, but as a junior noob on RES, you will already be working those days so no GS for you.
Welcome to Delta!

If you stay in nyc they will come and go as the staffing shifts. If you are local there will be short notice callouts available with some frequency, but that is really hit or miss and can’t be planned.

NYC 73N B is really fat right now. Im not sure ANY greenslips went out in October. I think 3 or 4 have gone out this month. There are several days with no open time at all, and plenty of reserves. I havent checked today but reserve coverage on Thanksgiving was blue yesterday. When I couldnt X Day move my way out of it I used the opportunity to throw down a PB day, which was nice.
Heres hoping Christmas gives the same opportunity at some point.
