Hey dudes, another dumb newbie question. I tried finding the data in the PWA but i blacked out after 5 minutes of reading and woke up in an alley with a new scar where my kindney was. If i am on reserve, can i GS on my X days and is that added to the reserve guarantee so i get Res G plus the GS hours?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yellow slips also sometimes save a reserve pilot on first year pay from having to spend money on a crash pad or hotel, especially in Nyc. It also sometimes is the only quality of life tool a reserve pilot has.

What's the issue with yellow slip? All it does is give you a trip over other people on reserve. They will assign it from junior to senior unless the senior guy on reserve yellow slips it. It would never stop a GS or WS, the trip in question will go out to a reserve anyway. I hardly ever YS but if I know I'm going to have to fly anyway I will pick the better trip. Please explain why this is a bad thing?
Out of base WS usually gets in the way of GS. And what's with the dude that WS when the last ten trips assigned were GS. To me that is way worse than getting a better trip or flying instead of sitting around the crash pad instead of a junior guy on reserve who lives local.

I know some of you don't think out of base white slipping is fair, but think about how differently the bases can be staffed. What if a guy is in DTW, sitting at 70 hours and can't get a white slip to save his life while ATL is passing out greenslips like hot cakes?
Is the DTW guy supposed to sit on his hands and take one for the team so the ATL guy can get a greenslip?

I'm on the 777. In my category, shortcalls are protected from flying except in aw$hit moments and long call guys can bid to have 4 and 5 day reserve available blocks when our trips are 7-8 days.
Yellow slipping just takes another pilots greenslip.

Still learning. So for my own stupid reasons, I had a ys in as first to fly on res day. Instead got assigned SC starting at 0400 and running till 1600 (next day is a golden day). At 05 still on SC. Little later check sched and I'm on a trip that gets in around 1900. Sched calls (side note, now know why all pilots hate scheds) and is somewhat shocked when I ask how it's legal to run me 3 hours past my sc window. Huffily offers to look it up. Does so and reads a bunch of numbers at me that sum up to me being legal (can fly) till 2000.
Is that true?
(I will read the PWA, but I find it a legal substitute for ambien)

The other thing about that video, and it matters not what school, but just as orthopedic surgeons may be rubbing their hands together in glee watching all the skateboard tricksters on youtube; there is probably a divorce lawyer in Hoover rubbing his hands together in glee of all his future high maintenance clients.

Did I prevent someone from getting a greenslip? Maybe. Do I care? No. As you said, it's legal and I will take advantage of the contract to improve not just my pay check but also my quality of life.

I can live with this.
