The fine is the least of his worries!

Moondog,

The issue of WS vs.GS comes up every so often and it is usually a good learning opportunity for new guys.

First off there are probably about 11,000 pilots flying the line each month with 11,000 unique situations.

I bid min credit in November got a 66 hour line and then a GS. The GS trigger is 72 so guess what - a WS would get me to the trigger. This is known as "protecting a GS." OK, I just made that up, but I like it. :)

At other times I have WS a trip with a great layover to see some old friends.

I could go on, but the point is that we are each free to exercise our seniority rights however we want. I could care less if my WS takes away another guys potential GS. Just the same, I don't begrudge senior guys doing the same to me and would expect them to exercise their seniority rights however they choose.

Scoop :)

Just call CS and ask but I think....
You would get PB days in your bank. You can use the PB day the next month or down the road if they have resv coverage on the days you want to drop. If you have a line the next month you can drop a 4 day trip if they have coverage for the 4 days and you had 4 PB days in your bank. Best bet is you request your PB days on the 1st PCS run on the 20th of the month. You can also GS on you PB days unlike a PD or a APD

Thanks guys, I called sched and ALPA. Looks like pb days in the bank if I GS on an xx day, just a plain ws if I GS on a FULL day.

Come on guys, let's talk health insurance. :D

Wait what? Drunk in public? What did he do that the rest of us shouldn't?

Um....showed up for pickup...:rolleyes:

There are airports in Europe that alcohol test flight crew when they pass theough security. The implication is that the crew member showed up to work with alcohol in system.
