Not sure I agree. There maybe a pilot that needs money and if Jr the greenies never get that low!!! Until they union says stop flying why should the Jr guy give up income so a senior guy can by a BMW bike??

Just play devils advocate.....

The guy that pulled this one is senior in category...

Alaska!!! A bit premature but all my triggers have lined up.

Could your opportunity have anything to do with endeavor? Maybe my sweet new avatar explains it. You guys are the 747 we........ Are endeavor.......

Sounds like a senior M88B who doesn't believe he's going to get his #2 GS. :eek:

Agreed! A WS for a junior guy vs. a GS for a senior guy. No brainer. I'm a junior line holder and have NEVER received a GS in my category in 5 years. If I need to, I'll WS the hell out of a trip.

What about a senior guy WSing? :) That's what I was talking about.

Again, this is too blanket a statement. Reference my earlier tale of a senior guy I flew with who would drop his line to ZERO, then pick up a couple of GS early in the month, then WS the remainder of the month, always easy turns or two day trips. You could be -50 on the reserve numbers and it would still make sense for this guy to WS.

You can't just see one thing and make a firm conclusion as to whether or not it was a good idea.

Well, that's their prerogative. I'm fine with that. A reserve guy in another base didn't get used and was paid to stay home. GS's are such a wild card, especially in the smaller bases. I don't have a problem with guys picking up whites. It's the way our system is structured, for better or worse.

The real abuse continues to be "Swap with Friends." That's a horrible idea.
