Which is exactly what they are doing.

And as I said before, I don't really have a problem with that.
Until they pick up the out of base trips on days with no reserves that would have gone to an in-base guy on a green slip.

I understand they have every right to do it under the contract.
Its just "unfortunate".
I had a GS on my line. An hour later CS called to inform me they had to take it back because they missed an OOB WS. Unfortunate...

That's also the only way to get a greenslip, that's the point. White slips should be banned when reserve coverage is below 25%. Hint...

You should get single pay, no credit for that if you are a line holder. If you are on reserve, you get nothing. Why'd you answer your phone?

Are you saying OOBWS is after in base reserves in the coverage sequence? I didn't think that was the case....And it is the case, I just looked it up. My bad.

So guys are supposed to not exercise their contractual seniority rights so that other guys can exercise their seniority rights?

You are mistaken.

ref 23.Q.12

And I didn't answer my phone, they left a message and took the trip off my line.

This is not correct. Scheduling has 24 hours to correct errors in trip awards.

It's "unfortunate" when guys pick up green slips denying IAs and GSWC. 🙄 GMAB.

Apples and oranges, but you already know that.

EDIT: an easy fix would be a swap in the award order. Put OOB WS below in-base GS and problem solved.

That's not fair, you would be denying some pilot a OOBGS!
To be real every single WS, in base or out of base reduces greenslips. Perhaps we should ban all WS's!
That 3 day in base WS someone took at the start of the month may well cost a pilot a GS at the end of the month.
