Trying to make sure there's no way to get screwed in this scenario. Lineholder/regular pilot.
Greenslip starts the last day of April.
Flies one leg to XYZ.
Next day, May 1 (next bid period), DH back to base.
10:30 pay x 2 = 21:00.
Outbound leg to XYZ is an hour, so the last day of April will be 2hrs pay.
The remaining 19 hours of pay will go to May, right?
If the pilot is below the trigger, they can take a little out of the bank to get to get their May to the trigger, but this spillover pay from the April 30 greenslip is still good for double pay, correct?

Still looking ugly on the mad-dog and mini-dog in ATL today. Full page of open trips for today on each fleet and pages of open time for tomorrow!

Had my greenslips in and never got called. I did get to sit 4 straight days of shortcall and never got used. Commuted in, sat in the crew lounge for 10 hours and commuted home. Saves lots of hotel $$$ but what a PITA

PS
Met "The Manager" on one of the commutes. Always great to meet and chat with an APC bubba.

So here's a little tidbit that some may not know. If you're a reserve pilot, but doing a GS on your PB/XX days you are still obligated to check your schedule within 30 minutes of landing after your last leg. Glad I knew that rule since our ship's ACARS was out last night and my phone's voicemail went TU. I decided just to be safe and check my schedule and sure enough I had been RR'd into an overnight (glad I thought to bring a shaving kit since I was originally on a 1-day 2-leg GS). In addition, while regular pilots cannot be RR'd after their last leg into their home base, reserve pilots can -- even if you're on a GS on your XX/PB day! I always suspected that was the case but never experienced it 1st hand.

Hey Denny, I need to go back to the Denny Crane school of sitting reserve Had my greenslips in and never got called. I did get to sit 4 straight days of shortcall and never got used. Commuted in, sat in the crew lounge for 10 hours and commuted home. Saves lots of hotel $$$ but what a PITA

My days of getting green slips with any consistency are long over. Don't remember the last one I got, sometime last summer maybe?Denny
