You are probably aware of this and ignore it if you are but I'll spit it out anyway!:)

If you have a blank regular line for the month and want to pick up trips, the best way to do it is with the "white slip" and/or the pick up option on the swap board. (If guys put in on the swap board to drop a trip but don't list it as a personal drop in dbms.) If you try and greenslip a trip, scheduling is going to give it to a white slipper or a reserve first then maybe someone more senior who has a GS in. With a white slip you are first in line.

There are only a couple of reasons why I would try to GS a trip with a blank regular line. 1) I already picked up enough open time via white slip in the beginning of the PCS runs to get above the GS trigger. 2) If there were a lot of trips over a few days and I KNEW that greenslips were going to be handed out. I would GS over those days and then try to fill up to the GS trigger with a WS in for the rest of the month.

The situation all depends on how much open time there is and when it is. I hope I don't sound like I'm lecturing or anything of the sort, I just don't want you to get hosed.

Merry Christmas to all!

Denny
