GSWC
 

I would be jazzed on that. I try not to do 5 days at all costs but id do one for green slip pay plus the day trip pay. 5 day green slip is a lot of $ definitely worth my time

are you sure you know how a GSWC works?

GSWC is a misnomer.....its better explained as a WSWC.....you get single pay for the 5 day "green" slip, then single pay for the conflict rotation that is dropped.

So doing a 5 day to drop a 1 day is terrible.

But doing a 1 day GSWC that drops the 5 day....chef's kiss!

GSWC get better the shorter the trip you fly vs the longer the trip you drop. Flying a 2 day to drop a 5 day would be sweet. Flying a 5 to drop a 2 is much less desirable.

Yes...green slip with conflict would be more accurately described as a white slip with conflict.

ya learn something new everyday! Good to know

Yup.

Pick up another GS on the 4 days that dropped and it’s effectively triple pay.
(Hey, you were planning to work anyway)

I haven’t seen a GSWC for a long, long time.

The only ones I remember seeing were the A350 launch debacle and the legendary million dolar man. I've never seen one in my cats and even OOBGS were 3 years ago.

With the massive loss of PB days in the system, it's hard to even see a regular GS anymore lol. But ya, the GS after GSWC were incredible with the 350 launch.

2015 NYC717B. Got a 1-day GSWC that covered day 1 of a 5-day, then a 3-day GS on days 3-5 of original trip. 12 days of pay in the 5 day footprint. Things were crazy back then.

at least we changed batch sizes and then helped to cover trips earlier

Lol right! And allow an app that randomly glitches and allows a GS to go junior.

2021 ATL73NB. 2 Day LAX OOBGSWC Dropped a 28 hr 5 day.

Not to rain on your parade, but just for casual observers, pretty sure that would amount to 9 days of pay due to this provision in the PWA:

• A pilot who is awarded a GSWC will receive single pay and credit for the rotation removed and single
  
  pay, no credit, for the rotation flown. A number of pay examples are included in Section 23 U.

GSWC's are not quite as juicy as some believe, tasty for sure.

1 + 5 + 2(3) = 12

As Offf pointed out, you are correct for the 1 and 5 day (single pay for both), but any additional GS will be 2xPay like normal. This is how the 350 guys cleaned house, especially when they had short trips drop their 9 day trips. It was a thing of beauty...just jealous I wasn't in category to take advantage.

This is the way…
