Its a tale of two Pilots. Senior WB A and Junior WB A. Currently GS's are slowing quite a bit so many junior WB A will credit on the bottom of the LCW and get zero GS's. Senior WB A can credit much more and easily pick up a GS a quarter.

Sailing must have had bad luck if he got rerouted that much on International. 2 + Years year and zero reroutes for me. But one of my superpowers appears to be an immunity to RRs. Even as a 737 A for 6 years I think I was only rerouted 2 or 3 times. Being LAX based and generally avoiding ATL seemed to enable this.

Sailings main point, however is very valid - it is relatively easy to make more than 1000 X base pay when you factor in "total compensation."
