Can't speak for iceman, but at regionals with good soft rules, that can be done.
For someone senior enough to bid LCAs, get bought off every trip, and then pick up premium pay at 150%+, it's not hard. That person would work less to get paid a lot more.
For someone too junior for that yet senior enough to bid longer stretches off, it's harder, but doable. They work a lot more to get paid more.
For someone at a short-staffed regional, they just get junior manned a lot. They get paid more to get screwed out of their days off, but it's not hard to say yes when no isn't really an option.
