So if both of you lived in MCO, and you were based in ATL, and the instructor was flying out of ATL, he would get a NYC GS before you would get the same OOBGS, even if he were junior to you--merely because of the trip coverage step...which is then made even more confusing by scheduling using the same letter for the trip coverage code.

Surely there's a better way!

I think they have a base assigned to do their flying when they bid, but when putting in for a GS they go before any OOBGS coverage which is what you said. I guess the alphabet was all used up when they fired up the WOPR around 1980 and wrote the code for I-Crew thus the common "H" designation. :)

If an SLI is on a fly month, they don't show as an instructor. They have a base/seat like anyone else. GS go as GS1,2 etc just like everyone else, in seniority order.

If an SLI is in department, their category is INS. The only way to get an INS GS is the H category referenced above.

It is confusing that H is used for two things.

More important than climate catstrophe or greenhouse design right now ...

How long does RR pay take to show up, especially when the rotation is closed?

Thanks for the clarification.

They seems to have gotten it down to 3-4 days. Occasionally faster, all depending on summer thunderstorms in the ATL.

Don’t forget…we’re still in a leap year.

One this month took 5 days. Last month, I had to call scheduling after a week.

Rerouted on Monday night, RRPY showed up this morning (Wednesday). That’s the fastest I’ve ever seen.

Mine has been showing up around the 3-4 day mark. I'd wait a week until you send a pay inquiry though. When I've done it sooner they just close it immediately and say "Wait til 7 days after the trip". That being said, once it's past a week if it still isn't there/correct and I've messaged them they've promptly corrected it each time.

Until the whole PB/PR fiasco happened I was actually starting to be cautiously optimistic that the company was serious about fixing pay here, too bad months of progress just got smashed to pieces.

Thanks all. It took only 2 days.
