but somehow before reserves. I love OOBWS when I’m trying to not fly on reserve but not when I’m hoping for a GS.

overall they have let me stay home more than taken my GS. Or maybe I just don’t notice.

We are last in line for a white slip. Don't worry you guys are first in line for GS before us.

i don't think this is a secret to anyone. It's just a gamble and one you have to be willing to do but plenty of people do it.

Yeah this isn’t a secret to anyone. People with less than 2 years at the company know about this strategy. Positive space commuting makes it easier to get those NYC greenslips, but I’ve known about this since I was a new hire commuting to NY.

Skywest getting a 60%+ raise, that's a good benchmark for all of the industry.

Did you see what the AA union is pushing? SKYW rates don’t mean anything.

I saw a retro date of 1/1/22, but am curious when they had their last raise. Are they as far overdue as we are? If AA management is trying to skip out of a year or two of retro, we all know how the sell job will end.
