Agreed. Personal choice/strategy whether you go for 2 4-day availability periods or a single 8 day. My point at the beginning is most NB pilots aren't expecting a 6 day trip to even be a possibility, so the 8 days of availability wasn't that big a deal.
I'd really like to see us eliminate covering trips with out of base reserves. If we do use OOB RES, then let's at least get them premium pay for the convenience to the company.

So you advocate letting scheduling decide which base gets GS's? Scheduling supervisor: "The sick leave rate is to high and short call response times to long. Move all potential DTW GS's to ATL."

Not now part of the PWA, I know. But it could be. Low priority, rare event but still a thorn.

No, I'm saying get rid of "reserve only" coverage awards that go out of base. If the trip has to be covered out of base for a reserve to do it continue down the ladder in order.

Isn’t that what OB WS/GS is for. Ok, no reserve fishing either then. If no coverage, the trip stays in base and goes to the next coverage step.

That gives scheduling full control over which bases get GS's. I prefer the current system. If they move the trip to another base it has to be returned to the original base if a reserve can't cover it. Using your method they could also shop WS's and check every base system wide to see who had a WS in meeting the trip requirement and move it there. The company would leap all over this change if we offered it.
Be nice if we could avoid certain DGS instructors as well.

You can, but you can't bid avoid him. Section 11 C. 10.
There is an instructor on my current fleet who I will neither fly with nor suffer through his instruction in the simulator ever again under any circumstance.

I've never had a bad LCP on OE but I've flown with a couple gems when I wasn't bought out. I wonder how many pilots are ignorant of 11.c.11 as I was until 1 minute ago.
