Just like all negotiations, each side will cost it out.
And just like all negotiations, some changes will affect individual pilots disproportionally depending on one's life perspectives and BES. For some, a change can be good for others the same change can defuse their whole bidding/sharp-shooting strategy.

Just as the company has somewhat devalued 18-hour LC by maximizing SC use, pilots have found ways to devalue GFB. I suspect that when they compare data on sick use between the high-GFB time period and the low-GFB time period, they’ll see little difference. If anything, widespread GFB use may result in statistically higher sick use.
Fighting IMSAFE and state sick law is a losing battle in today’s industry.

We’re always free to make PCS changes to our schedule, outside of the SICK footprint, even while on sick leave.
Got a GFB? You’re free to PW that 4-day sitting in open time that starts the day after your sick rotation ends, even if there’s a chance your sickness may not be fully resolved by then. None of those hours can be counted toward the verification threshold following the GFB.

Or is there something like VAC pay that you're not taking into account? What does your timecard say under Credit Applicable to GS Pay?

Not trying to insult your intelligence, but are you a reserve? If so, there is no trigger. If not, then it will use part of your gs to get to the trigger (this will show under the GS credit sections), then you'll just have gs pay for the difference. If you pick up anything else later in the month the GS credit will reduce and your GS pay will go up.

It's more work on us to file an FCR than it is to just run the APU for inadequate ground air, but if it's data they want... do both.
Let the flood of FCR for inadequate ground air commence!

My takeaway from that email was to FCR every time ground air is insufficient and run the APU onwards.

No ground air/power or the ground air is like a blow dryer, leave APU on (or start it up) and file FCR.
