I have a friend that works IMAX really well, and never works more than 14-15 days a month and usually has two off (NOV/DEC) with the occasional premium trip. He’s always working though, trying to play the game that works for him.

For awhile I worked more trip trading to get turns than I worked at the company, and that was exhausting but fun in a way. Turns were actually pretty tiring, but I was home every night for two years with two exceptions (meeting a buddy for a mancation using MU to pick up a 1-1). I was always on the computer, and always checking my phone and LS for trades. But now I’m enjoying early retirement on the jr widebody - and I check AAreserve once a day and there’s usually NOTHING going on. Hopefully this will continue for the next twenty years.

Boring story short, I’ve found my niche and I’m very happy with it. Although I can’t see a scenario where I would ever IMAX (unless I get so bored that I bid 320/CA), it’s in the contract and if we ever give it up, we should get amazing returns for it (beyond INDUSTRY LEADING).
