SW as well from what I’ve heard. The more time I spend here the more I hope to see some serious changes to our work rules.

Because then in many categories you'd never be able to drop a trip again because there would be pilots dropping trips just to get premium ones. I would support a step below all current GS steps, including OOBGSWC that would disregard GS triggers, but otherwise I see too much of a cost for pilots who just want to have more time off.

it's a huge gamble, you could drop your entire schedule and not get anything premium...if a pilot is willing to risk that i don't see why we wouldn't let them. Seems to me the GS Trigger was a big concession whenever it was implemented since it appears to be industry standard to not have a trigger.

i've been told that not many people have said anything about it.

Disagree. It should go before GSWC.

Delta didn't hire you to gamble, they hired you to fly.

Burn? I can't tell.

Well what should we care more about as a union - a Pilot willing to risk making less to potentially make a lot more or a Pilot who is trying to improve his schedule by dropping a few days?

To me this is a slam dunk - lets make it easier to improve our schedules. I love picking up a GS now and then but no one should depend on GS's .

I have always said GS's are the like "the force" - there is a dark side. In my humble opinion we should prioritize on the average line Pilot that works 75-85 hours a month.

Scoop

I would second that, focus on helping the majority, not the few people here ready to try a gimmick.

Personally I just want a 5:15 min day or something close. It sounds like everyone likes their average min day because the company doesn't get penalized for a 24 hour overnight for the crew. Personally I'd rather 24 more hours at home with the same pay. It doesn't sound like anyone is interested.

I hope you're right and I was planning on 6B+ this year and over 16%. We shall see. I'm sure the massive amount of greenslips that went out this summer will put a dent in it, and they probably could have prevented thousands of them by hiring a few hundred more pilots, but what do I know? I just work here.

I agree I just work here too but my understanding is an employee hired costs way more in benefits and taxes than the couple extra greenslips. If you've ever seen the math on how GM and Ford make 25 dollar employees into 75 dollar employees, it doesn't take much to see the reality that total cost and compensation make a little overtime well worth offering.
