I know you're replying to that single post, but I think the over-all theme here is that that is not achievable in the other bases. Drop down below 75 via P2P and pick up premium?... Hard to do when half the lines are 15 days off or below and built to 85 hours.. other pilots simply don't have the availability or ability to pick up your trips you advertise, or simply don't want to pick up your 4 day that starts at 0500 and ends at 2330, or one of your numerous all-nighters to EWR/JFK/BWI/FLL, etc. And then to pick up premium.. some months as an FO I've seen little or no premium posted, or if it is posted its in the first 4 days of the month.
It is what it is, however I don't think anyone except a senior SEA pilot would say we are anywhere even close to being able to make the kind of money pilots at other airlines make. And even worse is that they make more money and have more days off - that is the big gripe.
