GS on reserve question, friends:
X day on the 8th, RSV on the 9th
2 day Out of base GS 8-9th.
Can someone please help me understand how I will be paid for this? I already have my Payback day on the 10th.
Thanks!

You will get the block for day 1 (8th) above reserve guarantee and any credit and block will be paid towards guarantee on the 9th. If there is a lot of trip credit it's not that good of deal.
this was exactly me. My gamble lost, but ultimately I should be able to get there soon. In the past year or so the fastest way to get to SLC was the 737. Now it's the 320. I had my choice in indoc btw the two and I picked the 737 since historically it was getting there faster and there was more movement. Also with the caveat of if I couldnt get to SLC right away I could get somewhere west while I waited. On the last AE I got to move west, but had I picked the 320 I'd already be in SLC. So I guess ultimately the old saying "bid what you want and want what you bid" holds true. Either will get there in under a year so I don't think there is really a wrong answer.

A lot of effort and work for not much extra pay. But I'm sure mgmt appreciated it.

What's the GS trigger for line holders? I swear I've tried to find it in the PWA, but haven't.
1. So the airline can't make airplanes fly without pilots? good to know.
2. Simple solution. Match 717 pay with 88. Then match 88 with 320. Which then matches 717 with 320. Problem mostly solved.
3. Stop all of the 91% of trips are 4 or 5 day trips.

May trips: 82% 4-days and 9% 5-day = 91% >= 4 days
March trips: 84%/10%= 94%
Feb trips: 85%/10% = 95%
Jan trips: 79/09 = 88%
Dec trips: 82/10 = 92%
Nov trips: 80/3 = 83%
Oct trips: 81/10 = 91%
Man, it's so nice to make a post like that and not have an alpabot come and argue with me about it.
