If you're on the 73N/320, it would be even easier.
Or he got some good reroutes, 8D3, etc... Pay, credit....the term credit is so jacked here. But ya, if it's none of that, then no way I'd work that much. But to each their own, maybe the summers aren't his thing or maybe hes single/no kids. Work like crazy now and drop a lot the rest of the year. With that much pay, they
guy could probably drop the entire rest of the year and be fine. It’s what makes this job great.
Not most people can. A certain percent can but the entire BES cannot just drop and pick up garbage as a strategy. And, in lower ALV months, the top 10% will vacuum up just about anything. I know, I've done it several times. At less than 20%, there were a few times I had to accept non-commutable trips, waste money on a hotel because all of the super senior surfers got everything.
Regarding the high credit guy, it's being represented as something that anyone can do. You can't count on reroutes or 8D3 pay as a bidding strategy.
