Not quite. There are various leveling mechanisms for premium flying at DAL. Outside of 2 days out, a premium trip counts towards the pick up limit (average line value plus 15), and inside 2 days (trip coverage), premium time has a trip leveling mechanism, that favors people with fewer premium events, and that resets each month.
