As an example, if you could out of base WS and be just as high on the ladder as an in-base WS, then I could live in ATL and effectively be a ATL 73N B line holder even though I can barely hold it or even get in to the category with all of these MD's lately.
By bidding NYC 73N B, where I can hold a line, I could do a min line and then drop my trips and then WS out of ATL as much as possible.
Now for every trip I take it's one less trip that would've gone to a reserve because with my seniority I'd be the most junior eligible White Slipper and a reserve would've been next.
So by doing this I could help inadvertently shrink a base and make it that much more senior. And if my trips go on a swap with friends board, someone could make some coin and thereby reduce how many people are required in NYC.
Right?
Or I could live in CMH and pick up trips in CVG, NYC, ATL and someday DTW. And if I can do it, anyone can do it.
So I'm with Tsquare. But not for long, if his Vol's run off to pick up Petrino.
