That's where it's normal to get 100-150 credit without having to work that hard. If you saw some of the X trips that came up, you would understand why some of us keep saying it's easy to get high credit without working very hard for it.
Thanks for that info. I more than understand how premium pay works and supply and demand during irregular ops. We all have this including us purple folk. So if you drop regular flying the premium trip can’t touch the original footprint. So a lot of things would have to line up as a previous Spirit pilot poster stated. You would have to do this month after month. Plus it’s not the norm it was just the past year. That’s my whole point bubba.
