There's much I want to bring over from the NK contract, but this "everyone drops everything and only fly's two Thursdays a month for 400%" shtick is getting old. Inverted was trying to lead you there recently, when he explained that obviously only a fraction of the airline COULD EVEN POSSIBLY drop their schedule. If even a small fraction of the airline did in fact drop their schedule to sit for premium, the grids would all go red. Even on an average good day your grid is probably only green by 3-10 guys. So if just that many decided to do what you did the grid would go red, and everyone else would be denied. The simple fact that the grids are still green are proof that only a fraction are ACTUALLY DUMPING THEIR SCHEDULES to sit for premium. So while anyone can (maybe) do it, No, not everyone can do it.
I have been listed on X List all July and I have been called once on July 1st. It seems a fool's errand to base so much earnings on something you have no control over.

As far as the grid goes. There is a massive staffing problem in the right seat in LAS because Spirit cannot find any new hires who want to live outside of Florida. Because of this the Captain side is overstaffed and according to NavBlue for August is running 40% + on reserve so the grid is solidly green in the left seat.
