80,

Guys bid what they want. If they have to have whatever it is they're flying, and figure WS is the right risk/reward choice, it's strictly their business. You don't want to be in the business of singling out individuals, or suggesting group strategies. And this is coming from a guy that wants caps/bow-wave, and no swap-board loophole to bypass max pick-up.

The idea is nowhere near as horrible as that icrew icon for it. That's just creepy.

Maybe he's a commuter and wants to make sure he gets a trip vs. hoping a commutable GS pops up?

True that! All the ICrew icons freak me out. I have a very sensitive disposition. It's all I can do to sign in!

Remember FTB's "alternate" logos for the clip art? I'll see if I can find them... it was hilarious!

KW is still among us. He put a lot of $$$ in pilot's pockets over the years, poked management's eyes plenty of times, and saved more than few jobs.

Stand up guy. All the way.

The ex-safety chair was another, although I will say I have the highest uber-respect for the current CAS chair.

A GS flown while not yet at the GS trigger for the month will still be coded as GS pay. If you then WS trips to get to the GS trigger that trip will be paid at 2X pay even though at the time you were below the GS trigger. You can even borrow hours from the bank to help get you to the GS trigger so the GS you flew will be paid 2X pay. You don't have to be above the trigger when you fly it, you just have to get to the trigger by the end of the month. I've seen alot of senior guys WS trips just for this reason after they have one GS, but are below the trigger.
