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. :eek:

I'm not making this up. We are our own worst enemies.

Meh. To each his own. Dude likes to fly. Maybe he doesn't want to be home for some reason. The more he flies, the less somebody else has to.

C'mon Purple, nobody is that dumb. Unless he's the guy you see in the mall wearing his uniform and HAT.

I asked him if he was serious... He was. He showed me a copy of his schedule. He was quite proud of himself.

I'm confused.....so we're NOT supposed to wear the hat in the mall?!!!! :confused:

Woohoo! Just got a vacation moveup to Christmas off!!

You're not the lone ranger there. You learn your best contract lessons from messing yourself up. Unfortunately, each screw up gives you a little mental scar that a post like yours just re-scratches. Been there done that...once.

The only time I see an advantage to putting in a ys is when the wife says her mother is coming for a couple days. Throw one in and your problems are solved. There is no way you will get in trouble with your wife because she will never figure out what a ys is. Even we don't really know what it is or why you would ever actually put one in.

He could agree to roll his PB days, or bank them.

Sometimes a guy just has to get out of the house. Worse, some guys have no house. At the previous airline we had a guy who lived in the crew lounge and tried to stay in a hotel every night. I truly do not believe he had a "home" in the traditional sense. He was in his early forties going on age 65.

Before I moved to base, I would put one in sometimes instead of buying hotel rooms during my RSV stretch. It was better to get out and fly than rot in a hotel room on my own dime waiting for the phone to ring.
