Kirby wants scope relief and United

[derg]

PP is good and all, but in 17 years at SJI, I've never flown a greenslip. I bid days off, so that kinda defeats the purpose.

I've done two in almost two decades and they've never been worth it.

Plus, you lose all street cred bitching about staffing if pimp yourself out like that.

I did 1...a 4 day green slip...my first trip after ioe. Haven't put in for one since....the captain was exactly why it was a green slip.....

 

[Autothrust Blue]

How does this work? You drop trips, and they end up in open time?

Drop? WHAT IS THAT WORD?

Different perspective:

I've done many GSs with my best month being 179 credit when I was an 88 FO. Company record was set last summer by a senior 717 FO at 360 credit.

Greenslips have been well worth it to me. The increase in cash flow from paying off student loans, along with stacking the HSA/401k, and being able to take more vacations has been a big QOL enhancer.

Beauty of this airline is there is something for everyone. Different strokes for different folks.

Gs on reserve I get since you get those off days back. Line holders that gs like crazy I don't get unless it's a gswc. 1 gs as a line holder sure but more than that and you just have no life outside of work for that month....again unless it's gswc

That's one of my frustrations with Air Beachball. Other than picking a 30 or 60 day line, most stuff is the same. Everyone puts in their 17 days of work each month.

Yeah definitely not sustainable year round. It's more a ride the wave type of deal for most fleets. Be greedy in the months when they are short then enjoy your time off during the slow months.

Ehh, I'll just enjoy my time off every month

That's what I keep telling my younger friends that say "well I might stay if the new contract is decent." It may be decent enough but even with a new contract Atlas simply will not have the opportunity to only work 10 or less days a month on a widebody like the big 3. Nor will there ever be the opportunity to keep your bid destinations at an ACMI.

Or do their own takeoff briefings

Enjoy your enhanced seniority while you can. They'll figure it out sooner or later and then they'll actually get the good trips/days off.

That is exactly what happened to me, twice.

With the same guy.

And he thinks we're buddies. Last month it was "Hey, we flew together a couple times but I don't appreciate being called 'bro' by a colleague as it's denigrating"

Which I really don't. It's an assumed familiarity which I don't want to share with everyone.

I understand, bro.

I have a name. I'll answer to "dude" in nonconfrontational settings too, but I have a name.

How about El Duderino? Or are you not in to the whole brevity thing?

@Cal Goat is going to call me out for Lebowski comparisons; I'm much more Walter.
