For example, I might want the business class upgrade on a 15 hour flight, but might just take the stipend for a 4 hour flight.
As nice as business class sounds on a long flight, I'm hearing that some pilots are making several thousand dollars per month just by opting for economy class.
Thoughts? Thanks!
As far as I know you can switch as often as you like. Personally the payout isn’t worth it Business is the only way to go. What you can do is business until you get status on the airlines then opt for the payout and your status will get you upgraded.
