You're definitely significantly above average. There are guys who do that, but they are not the rule by a long shot.
I've gone through periods where I've tried to do that in the past. The best I've ever done was 135 one month. Typically, I'm in the low to mid-90's.
I do know guys who actively try and they manage to rack up totals 150 and above. However, they are constantly on their phone and/or computer trading, ELITT'ing, checking open time, and so on. I prefer to not do that.
The last times I tried to pick up POT were the last two weeks of Nov and the last two weeks of Jan. I had my board completely cleared in both cases. I am senior and bid POT on nearly every turn to three day that paid more than 10 per day (premium). I got outbid 100% of the time by guys bidding it straight. I am in base. I was constantly getting text alerts and getting woken up in the middle of the night (I know you can set a do not disturb but I really wanted some POT) by alerts. But nada.
So yes, people do what RJS does but they are not typical. There is the other side of the coin here too.

Personally, I work high block trips that pay really well but obviously because of the high block I can’t do 150 TFP a month on anywhere close to a consistent basis. That’s okay. At 8-8.5 TFP/day average I’m content.

Ya, I was asking you. I hit the wrong post when I quoted. I meant to quote you. My bad.
You know, you should be able to get 144 TFP since you're working 12 days per month. All of the guys who want to get hired here should believe that you can work 12 days per month at 71 block hours and make 144 TFP or better.
