Why fly horrible SS trips when you could wait until they have to break those trips up in multiple trips for greenslips? When they break them up, the trips have tons of credit and lots are 2 leg 2 days. Pilots are their own worst enemies when it comes to making easy money.
Silver Slips are Greenslips with credit that go towards the trigger. Why earn credit towards the trigger at single pay when you can for double?

Silver slips take greenslips from everyone and give them to only half of the pilot group. All without a leveling mechanism.

They take GS away from less than 1/6th of the pilot group, a group that already has an absurd advantage of the 5/6ths when it comes to GS. But yes, it does need a leveling mechanism. I don't think we envisioned them just putting every single trip for a week on SS allowing the credit surfers to hog the trough.

Unfortunately we allowed them into the contract. I was against them but supposedly "we" wanted them, so here we are. It's foolish to pass them up, why work the same days for half the pay?

Maybe that’s why none of these cases ever get resolved. Because there’s no “there” there.

So actual falsifying of government documents by a commander? I don’t think anyone is doing that. What commander certifies orders for someone not doing duty? Maybe there’s some lore on the line of these instances, but I just don’t think it happens. The commander is risking punitive legal action and an end to their own career.

I'm with you there. Broken up greenslips that go to reserves absolutely do create more GS. SS were built as a PB day killer and sold as something we wanted. Most of us called it here on this forum.
As far as leveling. We still have some SS still sitting in open time that have been up for grabs for 4 PCS cycles now.
