No, that is not what FangsF15 was saying. He said we don't understand reserve GS's and that unlike reg GS a reserve greenslip is in a class of its own and hurts the company (almost like a res GS is a noble cause). This is patently false. If you are rolling thunder correctly there is usually little to no difference between a reg/res GS. He just doesn't fundamentally understand how PB days are banked and how people roll thunder.
I don’t understand why you think rolling thunder generates banked PB days.

I don't understand why you think a successfully executed rolling of thunder stops once you don't have any work days left. Also, I don't need to qualify my statements, I didn't make the original claim. Go back and read the discussion. They claimed all res GS = good.

Some people may do that, but I’d wager the vast majority do not.

What the company desires is not wise, nor sustainable, nor ultimately successful. They want every reserve pilot to fly at or above reserve guarantee for straight pay. Simultaneously they wish to be the most reliable airline that businesses will continue to pay a significant premium to fly. Management wants to demand premium revenue without paying premium compensation. As I repeat often…you get what you pay for.

From: Hoping for any position
There is a huge difference in what a reserve vs regular GS does for the company. Someone posted an example of block flown vs credit as someone that does reserve GS. That may help the company on that specific day but it hurts in the long run, plus pays on top of guarantee plus gives a PB day. A regular GS bails out the company’s manning problem for a little extra money. No extra days off.

I’m not posting my stats publicly, but I’ll send them to you via PM. Trust me, they’re eye-watering. I fully understand how it works.
At the end of the day, the main/original point was that those who throw shade on all GS’s, and chest pound over only having a GSWC in, need to understand that a Res GS works almost exactly like a GSWC. Except a Res GS is even better, IMO.
