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.
If you understand it then why is it so hard to believe that MANY of our 5th year CA are making $250K without trying hard. Whatever 200% trips we take can go within the original footprint of the trip dropped (there is no such thing as "footprint" where the 200% trip is placed). What's not normal is an instructor that's crediting 280+ each month this summer.
