If the original poster wants to get into the 90+ range (which is what I assume he was getting at) without “flying for free”.
..then PBS award needs to be higher than MPG.
Flying LCF gives the highest pay to work ratio...but it won’t maximize the dollar amount. To each his own. Different goals have different bidding strategies.
Sorry to be condescending but you're still getting it wrong. If the PBS award is higher than MPG (like you said) then he's ALREADY flying for free.
Avoiding flying for free BEGINS with PBS bidding. That's the point we're trying to make to Viper. Don't bid a line that's over MPG in a vacation month! Then don't pick up any flying in that vacation month. That's the only way to avoid flying for free. Anything you fly over LCF up to the MPG is flying for free, whether it was awarded via PBS or picked up after you're awarded your line.
Write that sh!t down and look at it every day cause it doesn't seem like it's sinking in. And stop giving people advice until you actually understand it yourself.
