Here's the portion of it that I know an answer to.

An out-of-base H#1 does not count as G#1 in base.

Also, a bit more detail, all of the Hs are in one group, and G in your base separately.

That is to say, you could pick up an ATL trip for H#1.
Then you fly a DTW trip for H#2.
Then you pickup a SLC trip for H#3.
If in that month you then pickup a NYC trip it will still be G#1.

I'm not sure about the GSWC part of your question.

Thanks...that answers my question for the most part -- except for the C (GSWC) -- that the Hs and the Gs are in separate buckets when being considered future GS awards.

Anyone have info whether or not all GS are created equal in terms of future GS awards?

- Does a GSWC (C #1) count the same as a "normal" GS (G #1)...or are they different because they have different coverage codes?

- Does an out-of-base GS (H #1) count as your GS for future normal/standard/in-base/no conflict GS awards?

In other words, does a C #1 or H #1 count the same as G #1 when it comes time to be considered for G #2?

They are not created equal. They are all treated separately.
IE => GSWC #1 does not also count as GS #1 etc. etc.

See Sections 23.Q.15 and 23.Q.16
GS and GSWC are accounted for as different types of awards.

There is no similar language in the contract specifically for out of base awards but as far as I have seen they have always used the same methods to award those trips in the past. Everybody gets a shot at H #1 before anybody gets H #2 and so on.

Can a reserve who is assigned a trip 24 hours away place that trip on the swap board and give it away or are reserves banned from the swap board?

Reserves can not drop, swap or pick up trips on the swap board.

No

for details look at 23F in the contract.

Dudes.... When you trip your one year mark are there any hoops to jump through to get off probation? Or are you just magically part of fight club? Thanks

Somebody will approach you in the concourse and show you the secret handshake, but you won't know who it is, or when it will happen. :eek:

After that, others will start to give you 'the nod' as you pass by, that's when you know you are off probation. ;)

Oh, and wear your lanyard! OR ELSE!
