Of the other 30% I'll bet 90% of them know their way around the cap. That leaves 5% that are too dumb to figure it out that MAY on occasion fly more than what the cap now allows.

The formula is simple. Bid 3-day trips if able, WS to the pickup limit on the first PCS run (preferably a couple 2-days or a 3-day), head over to the swap board and pickup whatever is there. After that, spend the rest of the month swapping your 2 and 3-day trips for trips that are longer and you will easily get to what the FAR's allow. Not that hard even if you are junior.
Rock, it isn't too hard to figure out even for an OFG. Cap should be the same for everyone. Period. OFG
