You have to hit the trigger in both months for a spillover GS so the answer is yes.

Of course many people for many reasons don't want holiday pay. But I think the majority of our list would enjoy such a policy.

This is very telling about how poor our system is. When you don't sit holidays at 98%, someone at 97% or 90% or 55% has to. If one must scheme the system to overcome the scheming of someone else who is junior, we have a problem (IMHO).

Schemes or scheming implies some nefarious context. Using the PWA to his benefit isn’t a scheme in my book. Just MHO, too.

If you had a premium on a holiday trip, senior pilots would sort and select the one that they enjoyed vs asking for the holiday off and waiting to see what gets left open to be covered as a GS. I would think that unstacking wouldn't even play out, and I'd bet that a junior pilot wouldn't get a holiday trip even if they wanted one.
Guaranteed trip with 150% pay that everyone could plan around would be superior to the pop up GS on Xmas eve, eve that needs to be covered.

Keep it simple. Holiday pay at 150. If you call in sick during during during a premium trip, you revert to normal 100 percent sick bank for the trip. Green slip system stays in place to keep the operation going, which probably sees serious reduction. Senior guys get a guaranteed bonus. Junior guys stay with family. And if I were a betting man...the data would support it being close to cost neutral or a trivial cost that makes pilots a lot happier as a group. Or maybe I'm just naive. What's not to like?

In some smaller categories, major holidays go unstacked to near the 50% point.

Not likely.
Pilots who can hold holidays off....bid them off primarily because they want the days off. Its pretty simple to figure out.
If you are accurate in whats goin on...its only a narrow slice of reality that has this issue. A narrow demographic in small categories.
Its not likely holiday pay is gona have any meaningful impact in those situations.

Your logic is flawed. You assume the bidders who can hold a holiday off would then obligate to fly over a holiday because its a 'sure thing' at a lower pay rate.
