Denny,
Not quite correct. When the HAL 9000 checks to see if you are legal to fly a Greenslip it will treat the sickout as if you flied the trip.
If you could have flew the sicked out trip and the GS - you will still get the GS.
If you would have flew the sicked out tip and it would have made you ineligible for the GS - you go to the back off the list for that particular GS - not the whole month. You can still get it if no one else is legal for it.
Now for the rest of the month the HAL 9000 will assume that you flew the sicked out trip trip when it checks for legality of Greenslips.
In my opinion this is a positive. A few guys were using tactical sick calls to get a greesnlip that should have gone to another Delta Pilot.
This has zero effect on the number of GS's that go out but prevents a few contract Ninjas from hosing their fellow Pilots.

I'm still stuck on the word "flied."

So for all those guys getting displaced, thought I'd share my experience with relocation benefits. I read a lot (on the forums) about how the new tax law would charge me inputed income for the move and that would devalue the benefit. I was planning on paying a few thousand in extra taxes, but, to my pleasant surprise, Delta bumped up my paycheck thousands of dollars to pay for any taxes I would have incurred. This isn't in the PWA and I thought it a very nice gesture. I imagine my total move will be nearly $20k, they bumped my earnings up to pay for the taxes, I got a bunch of S1s, a $2k pay allowance, and bought off a 4-day since the move was such a lengthy distance. It's been a breeze! Hope this helps somebody.

Are we allowed to pick up a trip from the swap board that’s not in our base?

IPAD Questions
Whenever I quote a post a post it opens a dialogue box within the new post - all good. But when I try to scroll within the dialogue box the whole screen scrolls pushing the dialogue box right off the screen - how does one avoid this.
