Someone has to commute to New York to fill up the flying, so again, I'm not whining. Your point about WS potential GS is well taken.

I din't think you're whining when you're writing that, so I'm not writing either when I describe it as poetic irony that the Atlanta guys would white slip the Atlanta flying for a change, as opposed to squatting New York the rest of their life.

So picking up white slips is bad because it prevents trips from staying in the pot and going out as green slips when reserves are low.
By that measure pilots who drop trips and add them to the pot are doing the pilot group a favor when reserves are tight.
So I must be doing the pilot group a favor when I drop two trips and white slip one, while guys who white slip trips to a high guarantee are hurting the pilot group.
Too much pcs bidding jujitsu for my own liking. If neither the pilots or the company are violating the contract, I really don't see a reason to complain.

The "reason to complain" is the contract itself.
I don't think guys realized just how many jobs would be killed by all the new "productivity enhancements".
We need to find a way to get back some sort of monthly cap.
Guys swapping and whiteslipping to 100 hours every month are bringing down the neighborhood.
