Did rotation go to MED destination because those are filled two days prior.

"more than 24 hours in advance" technically has nothing to do with anything. If it was a next-day trip, and past 8 AM today, then they may have already run the trip coverage report before you got your slip in. If it was a trip for Tuesday then as was mentioned it may be a med destination and those are covered 2 days out.

How long before you entered the trip for pickup and it showed awarded? If more than 30 minutes call and ask to be paid. I am assuming you put it in the rules auditor to insure you were legal. 24 hours prior has no real meaning for next day coverage. They can start covering trips for the next day after they do the 7am window run.

Maybe so. It was a 3 day AUS/LAX. I just don’t ever get phone calls for GS 29 hours in advance. I wish I did then I would be able to pick up more!

I don't know about 29 hours, but I've definitely had a few calls for ones 24+ out. If they wipe out all their reserves for the next day and still have stuff later in the evening the next day they'll kick it out to ARCOS to start working on.

Wait until it is too late to fix, then call skeds. The GS guy flies the GS. You get single pay and credit. They’re pretty good about it.

This. Everyone I know is burned out from the chaos of long duty days due to sits, short overnights, terminal/plane swaps, etc. People, especially those that flew through most of the past two years, are smoked. They are doing GSWC because they nor their marriages can stomach another chaotic year of 18-22 days a month out a a suitcase.

fly a trip on days off, get paid straight time for the trip, have your next reserve days = to that trip length dropped with no affect on your guarantee (plus a carve out for more time off if the trip releases after 3pm) . If you do it right you finish the month with 150 or so credit having worked fewer days than if you sat reserve. (This is referred to as rolling thunder)
the trips I get on reserve tend to be the long days and short nights that we see in the bid package, the trips I see go out as GS tend to be broken up and far less actual flying.
rolling thunder and GSWC don’t solve the company’s staffing problems.
