Picking up meaningful OT is a challenge in itself. Can't start before 10am after your last reserve day. Most available OT includes an overnight, which can't go into your reserve day or create a 7 day conflict (that you can't swap out). If you find a turn, it's probably about 2.5 hours credit or less (ORD to PIA turn, cha-ching).
What else am I missing?
