A large portion of us have paid those dues. Thank you for your service, but those "dues" earn you nothing more than that here. The only "dues" that count here are those paid while in service to Delta.
Why should they have been greenies? What entitles you to a GS over someone more senior to you who chooses to utilize a contractual benefit to WS?

No one cares about what you paid to get here. We all paid something to get here. Those dues got you a seniority number and everyone with a seniority number senior to yours gets served before you. That's the deal. Your venting sounds like whining, this isn't Missouri.

On the other hand, I got called last night for a ys. Being it was the middle of the night, I slept through it. Checked and it went out on a gs. Someone owes me a beer.

This whole GS vs WS is a behavioral economist's wet dream. Classic game theory. No one owes you anything. No one knows exactly who'll get what. It's simply self-interest and risk-reward. Nothing wrong with that.
I've heard senior guys complain that junior guys WS'ed their GS (because, you know, they're entitled.) Hint: it's because the junior guy knew he wouldn't get it as a GS.
Somebody call Levitt and Dubner. They'd do a podcast on it in a heartbeat.

If you like freakanomics try "planet money" as well. Both can be very enlightening!
