And you dont have to PROVE anything to bring a lawsuit.... which then has to be defended. $$$

Look up "Summary Judgment" in a legal dictionary. While you're at it, study the topic of sanctioning a lawyer for bringing a nuisance lawsuit.

You get the X day back and single pay over guarantee.

But they won't give you the GS until they've run out of all other options, starting with WS/out of base WS/reserve coverage/DH in a res from another base, and let's not forget busting the trip into pieces they can cover.

Green slip is different. You're correct that a GS on X days pays above the cap and you get the day off back.

Ok, thanks. Sadly this is an education I should've gotten before I rashly put in a yellow slip on an x-day thinking that yellow was the reserve 'green'. Predictably I was assigned a trip almost instantaneously and will now be contributing to the company's profitability (and y'all s profit sharing) through my stupidity. Oh well, at least it was only a day trip.

So you know the answer as to how many people are required to speak of a job action in order for that to be considered "concerted". OK.. enlighten us all about that. I know it is probably not more than 49, for sure, and I will be willing to wager that it is a lot less. I am pretty sure that the company's lawyers are not too worried about being sanctioned for a frivolous or nuisance lawsuit, because they have a precedent for this exact type of thing. You get a couple of clowns shooting off their mouths on your webboard, and that would be all it would take. I'm not worried because I am not going to be a member anyway, so I wouldn't be subject to your assessments to pay for that. And I guess I should thank you in advance for lowering my dues.

Your credibility will be enhanced if you discuss things you actually know something about.

Yeah, sad that I cannot participate, but the price of admission is waaaaaay too high, so I'll have to take your word about that too.

I overheard a guy on the employee bus talking about asking the company to change his green slip to a yellow slip on his days off. He didn't want to lose the chance to fly on his next on-call days. He basically bragged about flying every single day he could for the past several months--one month he said he flew 23 days in a row. His RAW was 233.
