When you call back don't go to the option to speak to a scheduler. Go straight to the trip award prompt and acknowledge the trip. If the report was more then 3 hours away you should have been given 10 minutes to respond.

If they are out of reserves you can volunteer on your off days to fly at double pay no credit. If you pick up a 4 day 23 hour trip on a green slip you would get 46 hours additional pay for the month on top of your normal schedule.

NY can't take a cut if your living somewhere else. We fall under federal law that states if you are a transportation worker and do not do more then 50% of your work in one state then state tax obligations fall to your state of residence. I have flown 15 years out of NY and they have never made even a attempt to tax me.

How far in advance do they award green slips? Does a commuter ever have a chance at one?

I am sitting on 30 hours of rest today. There is a trip tonight I would like to do, and would be legal to do without the 30 hour rest(I would turn into a pumpkin 8hrs after return). I put in a Green Slip for it and I have been passed over... do they auto-pass you over if you are on 30hr rest?
You can check if you were legal for it using rules auditor in swap with the pot. Only worry if 1)you were legal 2)had a green slip in that covered it, and 3)they gave it as a GS to someone jr to you. Then call CS and point it out.

"While slip" (WS) is to pick up a trip at straight pay
"Green slip" (GS) is at double pay for a line holder. (Not double for a reserve, but over the guarantee)
"Yellow slip"(YS) is for a reserve and is used for various things, but for the most part is to be "out first to fly" or used to pick a certain trip that he may desire.

Commuters do have a chance, but obviously not as likely as a local.
