VAS comes after GS in 23.O, so please enlighten us how it takes away GS.
99% of the GS I get are same day / next day, usually due to other pilots getting re-routed so their rotation is now broken up, or from pilots banging sick....neither of those scenarios is solved by a SS, and GS will cover them before it gets to a VAS or someone gets RR'd.

Speaking of data, this will really skew the historic GS data over time. Will ALPA publish a SS count each month. Doesn't all this muddy the waters for reserves required and the staffing formula? There are just too many experimental policies for me to get a good idea of how things will play out. One thing I know is that staffing is tight and i don't see any point in the future that alleviates this. At the end of the day QOL depends on staffing. Staffing depends on the company's willingness to be less productive. Penalty and premium pay is nice but better schedules were the QOL objective. I feel like a kid going into the chemistry lab for the first time. What concoction can I make with this stuff, and will it blow up in my face?

Yeah, I'm confident I'll find a new ox. I'm not going to have a choice. Maybe I finally get a unicorn but they are hard to find and I expect over time it will look more like a donkey.

Don't forget how frequently Delta uses 23M7. They can just use a VAS and avoid the timely ARCOS greenslip callouts. Most likely they will not even get caught and never even pay protect someone.

I'm just trying to figure out the logistics. If a SS always pays 200%, that's great. The advance notice, what actually goes into PCS, and the request qualifiers are what I'm trying to work out. Probably just blanket them like I do GSs now. I'm hoping some how we see them in advance designated as silver. Unlike GSs now where you have no idea which trip you'll get proffered. My suspicion is that they will soak undesignated (as WS pick up fodder) and you won't know until assigned. If it is designated prior to the 48 hours, what will that look like in icrew?
