Other than more short calls, reroutes, or pilots, I see no decrease in GS flying in our future.

Not true. Although the Award function works with AND logic, i.e., Award Pairings IF Duty Legs = 3 would return only trips in which every duty day has exactly 3 legs, the Avoid function works with OR logic, i.e., Avoid Pairings IF Duty Legs = 3 filters only trips in which at least one duty day has exactly 3 legs.

More to the point, "Avoid Pairings IF Duty Legs > 3" filters only trips in which at least one duty day has more than 3 legs.

Source? The last I heard was that the company and ALPA had agreed that the 120 day clock would not run as long as they were still talking. Do you know something different?

I think what you meant to say was that you cannot be awarded or assigned a rotation that would violate a PD or APD day. You most certainly can be made to fly into an X-day.

See 23.N.21,22, & 23. Also 23.O.17,18, 19 & 21
