Exactly. I bid in the top 5% of my category and try this about every other month and even then I aim for around 120 hours but it is a lot of work.
If guys want to do this every month I say great for them. Even junior Pilots are now routinely getting 2 GS a month in a lot of categories.
Most importantly - my category is probably typical and has seen multiple OOBGS, GS with Conflict and assignments. If the company was manned properly FOs would not be able to credit 100+ hour months routinely - even with LCA bidding.

Every time I poke my head into one of these threads I'm disappointed to see that the company has us fighting amongst ourselves. We are the ones that have to work together for the next several decades. Management teams will come and go. Let's not treat each other in a way we might regret later.
