Now you got my head spinning! I assume that any instructor GS, no matter their "fly base" for that month, will trump any non-instructor OOBGS, even if they both live in the same city, just due to the language in section 23. So if both of you lived in MCO, and you were based in ATL, and the instructor was flying out of ATL, he would get a NYC GS before you would get the same OOBGS, even if he were junior to you--merely because of the trip coverage step...which is then made even more confusing by scheduling using the same letter for the trip coverage code.
Surely there's a better way!

Surely there's a better way! (a different code for instructor GS would be a good start)

If an SLI is in department, their category is INS. The only way to get an INS GS is the H category referenced above.
It is confusing that H is used for two things.

If an SLI is on a fly month, they don't show as an instructor. They have a base/seat like anyone else. GS go as GS1,2 etc just like everyone else, in seniority order.

They seems to have gotten it down to 3-4 days. Occasionally faster, all depending on summer thunderstorms in the ATL.

Until the whole PB/PR fiasco happened I was actually starting to be cautiously optimistic that the company was serious about fixing pay here, too bad months of progress just got smashed to pieces.
