No. The only thing the trigger applies to is straight GS

Awesome thanks.

Why doesn't DAL modernize the way they solicit GS flyers? They could use fax machines? Or even pagers?

As someone already mentioned, ARCOS is pretty modern. Honestly, aside from ARCOS being buggy I don't really have any complaints about it. Mostly it's the implementation (batch sizes, which have sort of been fixed) that I didn't like. Otherwise it's one of the few modern IT tools Delta actually uses.

Isn't it funny how our tech that feels modern is all of the outsourced software?

​​​​​​ Technically, every airline outsources most IT applications. This is an airline, not a software development company.

They have plenty of outsourced tech. With more on the way. They tried to dump DBMS years ago but the Frankenstein patchwork that is their system would have collapsed the airline. It is sorely in need up updating but I'm sure they are worried that a snapover to a completely new one would be a disaster.

I get it. The smaller the airline the better the user interface seems to be. I know AA has some archaic tech infrastructure too. I'm just glad the future EFF is outsourced.

GS calls are easy to end. Just take out the GS or put in qualifiers for what you actually want to fly. You can put in multiple GS each with different qualifiers. The IA calls can't be stopped but they are far and few between. Most green slips get picked up.

IA calls are getting pretty regular.

Think we could start doing individual negotiations with crew scheds for each green slip. “Yeah, I’ll fly extra, if you can get my CP to waive wearing the hat for the trip.”

I have seen them wave wearing the entire uniform.
