Then, bid a very high time line with weekends off. Drop your entire schedule using the PB days getting paid for the entire line. Bid weekends off so the coverage is good enough to drop the trips with PB days.

Throw in a blanket no restrictions GS for the entire month and if you are lucky you will fly a full month at double pay.

So you could get paid for 80 hours plus another 160 hours for a total of 240 all with no GSWC.

If you can pull this off you will have made about 2 months of 130-150 hours pay on the reserve months doing rolling thunder and 240 on the month with a line. So in theory you could pull off 540 hours pay in a 3 month period.
