At the end of the month everybody has roughly the same amount of usage.
I flew with a very senior CA who has been at the company 30 years and has never bid a line. Not once.
Also, everyone may appear to have similar usage in terms of GTD, but there’s a very big variance in people’s TAFB, which can be minimized with a good bid.
