I certainly implied no such thing. You obviously have to be a WB CA, and most likely need some seniority to game the system to that degree. So maybe 30-50% of WB CA's are in a position to do it.
For the $1M+ threshold, it could quite plausibly be limited to a number you can count on both or even one hand.
$600K? One thousand sounds plausible.
Nobody is saying new hire FO's can do that. Only saying that it can be done, which is fact.
It's also possible to get 8 weeks off with vacay + bidding, but that also requires seniority.
