In upgrade at the Hilton so chatting with some of the new hires. A lot of them got NYC but want another base. Is it “frowned upon” to try to drop an entire NYC schedule on the swap board then OOBWS yourself a Seattle month? Staffing permitting in both bases obviously. Is this a thing that guys do when they can’t get the base they want? Just curious what advice I should give them. I’m not a commuter so don’t know the schemes.
Some think it's a douche move but, like it or not, the PWA permits it. Like Fangs said, it's a way to circumvent one's lack of seniority. Putting OOBWS after in-base Green Slips is the best way forward, but I don't see the company being amenable to this.

I've seen this once or twice. A guy lives in Base X but isn't senior enough to hold his seat and equipment at Base X, so he bids an RLL line in Base Y, drops what he can, and snipes OOBWS. For this one guy in particular, he was not willing to move or change equipment or seat; just happy to execute this strategy while waiting until he can get Base X in his seat and equipment at a certain seniority.

Hmm. I’m losing the case with CS right now. I have called two separate times and opened a case using the new Crew Assist app. So far I have 3 different answers: 1). Possible 23M implementation; 2) my name wasn’t on the Trip Coverage report … don’t know why; and 3) I already had 2 GS’s and the Jr pilot was on #1.
I have already submitted an ACE for this, but I was hoping to get it resolved in my own.

Edit: Reading the contract it appears a OOBGS would count against your total however I have been awarded a second GS many times in that situation. Talk to the union.
