Go look up how many days you worked and then we'll have that comparison discussion.

Our A320 guys have been getting a TON of greenslips. I'm sure if the senior SWA guys that take full advantage of their system chime in, it'll be mind boggling too.

My favorite trips are the ones they buy from me and I stay home, not the ones where you have to show up and work more.

They do - I can pull up my schedule and rotations from Jan 2011. Is three years old not enough?
Okay, I figured out how to get the old monthly schedules (thank you), but when I try to get the rotations it says something like 'check rotation date'. I can only get rotations for a few months back.

sailing-
Your daily apologies for management and/or DALPA are at least predictable.
You being wrong is also predictable.
Nobody is asking Delta to prepare their tax return or give advice. However, it would be simple for them to provide us with a year end compilation of the information needed to accurately fill out the Employee Business Expense form 2106 that we all file every year.
I agree that the data is there. But the way Delta stores it makes it extremely difficult for an individual pilot to go back at the end of every year and get it out of the computer in a usable form.
For you to claim that a pilot can "easily do it yourself" is just laughable.
Flightline and Pro-Diem would not exist if that were the case.

It took me 20 minutes to pull all 12 months schedules and all rotations I flew for the year.

[QUOTE=Timbo;1560700]As one guy said, "The problem with Green Slips is, you have to fly them!"
Enter the reserve Green-slip. Straight pay - yes. Albeit, above the cap and finally, here is the most important part, you get your days off back.

[QUOTE=Scoop;1560779] Yep, works well on 88. Done 2 this month. Only issue is you have to fly the weekends usually.

Buzz one day when your Captain and your FO is eating a cheesesteak, you now think he is not a classy Delta pilot. As they say on ESPN, Come on MAN!

I used to print all my rotations and schedules to One Note and do the calculations on layovers. At the end of the year I would add it all up and was done with it. For $50 it is WAY easier than digging it all out of I-Crew and doing all the math myself. Plus, and an auditor won't question Pro-Diem or Flightline.
