Outside of open time pick ups, what are other ways one can increase pay.

Open time is really your best way. All open time is 150% and some is 200% but usually just last minute trips during irop recovery. But if you live in or around NY you can clean up 200% open time pay. Just call up scheduling and say show me the money haha. Other than that, you can get creative with how you bid to make more money.
You can also enable Max line range when bidding to get more efficient trips that put you over 85 hours for the month, guaranteeing you some premium pay, as the open time tends to dry up quickly after the schedule comes out.
High density short trips with lots of days off are good goals, then pick up open time. Open time cdo's (one day overnight red eye trips), which are awesome if you live in base.
There are lots of guys crediting over 100 hours per month every month. I'm not one of them. (days off=gold).
And then there are the guys who make 10k per year with referral bonuses. Guess they're basically just freelance recruiters in their downtime haha.
