You obviously don't know how it works. All you have to do is have your high 5 years total $1,300,000. It doesn't matter how you get there. Draft, extra flying, vacation buy back, and sick bank buy back all counted toward your high five. Yes, the guys worked more, but they could get a high five average of $260k with a $200 per hour pay rate.
