He comes into the cockpit snotting all over the place and tells me he is sick but there was no way he was passing up such an easy greenslip (one leg out, layover, one leg back)

How long have you been around here Herkflyr? It was kind of hard as a furloughee watching those guys have multiple greenslips each month while we had guys on furlough. I know I know it would be flown anyway so it might as well be me. Heard that a lot too.

To each their own on the GS. With that said, flying GSs with peeps on furlough is just about 180 out to union objectives and the theoretical union brotherhood as you can get. We prob ought to sneak something into the PWA that disallows this while it's cheap.

I'm a big fan of bidding/dropping/swapping an efficient line putting me within minutes above the GS trigger... then I GS from there. Most money, most days off!

From OpenTime page on ICrew, Trip coverage page, click the F5 Help Button at bottom:
-- REASON:
A = ASSIGNMENT
B = GREEN SLIP - ACTUAL RESERVE VALUE >= MAXIMUM RESERVE
C = ASSIGNMENT WITH CONFLICT
E = OUT OF BASE GREEN SLIP - ACTUAL RESERVE VALUE >= MAXIMUM RESERVE
F = GREEN SLIP WITH < 12HRS TO REPORT
G = GREENSLIP AWARD
H = OUT OF BASE/INSTRUCTOR GREENSLIP AWARD
I = W/S OUT OF BASE 23K RECOVERY TRIP WORTH > ORIGINAL TRIP
J = OUT OF BASE GREEN SLIP WITH < 12HRS TO REPORT
K = INVERSE ASSIGNMENT ROTN WITH < 12HRS TO REPORT
L = 23K IN BASE RECOVERY TRIP > ORIGINAL PREMIUM PAY TRIP
M = INVERSE ASSIGNMENT IN BASE WITH CONFLICT
N = 23K RECOVERY TRIP < ORIGINAL IN BASE TRIP. NO PAY THE ROTATION
O = OUT OF BASE WHITE SLIP

If you are in spitting distance and want it, bid it and you might be suprised. OTOH, don't put a dream sheet AE preference in unless you really want those positions.

They are holding people to mistaken and unintended bids for the most part :eek:

Too bad there isn't some kind of report that could be generated that shows everyone preferencing a particular category, and where that bid falls on down their list of preferences.

Maybe a wormhole will open, and such a product will miraculously appear, same as the Crewmember Activity Statement did. Maybe we can just skip the wait, agree to say "sure, it was your idea all along, no problem", and just get on with it already. I do reserve the right to roll my eyes if someone actually does say that, however.

I mostly agree with you. Anyone flying sick EVER, GS or no, is a tool. I haven been been here since 97 and have flown five total GS. I refused to ever put one in while guys were furloughed.

But, they have a place, and your post was implying that anyone who ever flew one was self centered, worked too much, etc. That might be true in some instances, but you can't just make blanket assumptions.

I did not mean for my statement to come across as never fly GS's, what I meant for it to say is don't be ruled by them. More money in your pocket is good. More money in your pocket at the cost of family not so good.

Unfortunately I've seen too many guys start to rely on them as part of their paycheck so much so that when they dry up they are in the hurt locker.

Well I totally agree with you there. I have seen that as well (the dudes who are ruled by them; I tend to not like to fly with them).
