My scheme is extremely simple. Live in base, bid reserve with strategic SC YSing, try to fly as little as possible and be perfectly content with RG and hopefully 6 SCCs on top of it as icing on the cake. I also have a blanket GS in to see if anything comes down the pipe (hasn’t for a year).
Agree 1000%. Try and change the contract if you want but I don’t understand the hate for people exercising their contractual rights, no matter how someone else sees it.
