Was watching a 3-day trip on the ATL717B that I had a GSWC in for yesterday and today. My trip starts Monday, and this trip was scheduled to start this evening and end Monday morning. Checked on it throughout the day. Plenty of robo calls telling me about IA trips available. I'm sure others had the GSWC slip in as well, but eventually the trip disappeared (started with a DH to a layover) and no one got it. Would have been a nice 3 day GS with a total of 3 legs and 2 DH legs.
I guess that's there prerogative (pull the trip). I had thought they might give the GSWC on it (get the trip covered on a weekend where we have zero reserves and tons of trips still waiting to be covered), but I was wrong--guessing some manager in scheduling or higher is saying enough is enough: Stop with the GSWC because they just cause trouble a few days later with more trips to cover.

My credit cards, UHC, FAA Medexpress, bank, Fidelity, emails, college fund, utilities all work fine with Chrome. But Deltanet doesn't?
Obviously it's Chrome's fault.

Those options disappear in the summer when all fleets and bases are maxed out...and GSWC will be their only choice.
Golly. It sure would have been nice if we hadn't given up those 31-day summer months with C12!!
But I digress. More underboob please, GG.

No kidding. I've got a dozen or so IA calls in the last three days with up to 10 rotations on the call. Today I cut some hay, built a clay thrower, went to a birthday party, and shot some 9mm. Oh, and caught some shellcrackers in my own pond. Tomorrow I'll shoot some clays, more 9mm, watch the Man U v Leicester City match, then pack up the wife and dog and drive home.
Not once will I be available for premium pay...

As a reserve pilot on a GS during XX days, am I pay protected for the entire trip if I run out of 117 time? My current trip is only legal if I get a 30 hour layover and the scheduling is pretty tight. If we block in a little late my guess is CS will just bump my next flight to make it work, but if there's a major WX or MX event I will turn into a pumpkin. I know a line holder would be pay protected, but is a reserve pilot on a GS protected as well?
