Agreed. There's also the coast-coast-coast-coast trips on the 75 and 73 (and to a much more limited case the 320). My reply was to refute sailing's claim that top tier FO's would also be top tier captains. That's not the case most of the time, and when it is its usually only the case in limited circumstances like 717/88A where the flying (especially at the lower seniority) is much worse than what you'd have to give up to get it.
Not to mention, senior captains can roll thunder in some categories, but they can't ever triple dip the buddy bid gravy train.
