Correct. This is what the guy who set the 2 year 10 day record from C5 indoc to UA indoc was very good at. He was able to bid an FO line, offer cash to people who would take his FO trips, and then pick up captain flying. I’m sure QOL sucked for a couple years... but now he’s on a legacy seniority list.
