You are the current King! That GS on the 330 is paying more then 600 an hour with PS and DC! Add in getting the other trip dropped and your around 900 an hour. I would take the engine change crew out drinking so they are so hungover they have to skip working a day and let the 1 for 3.5 work it's magic on the GS.
The closest I have come to that was getting a 6 day trip bought by a 4th floor type. He then no showed the trip and I got it back on a GS. Sadly it was at copilot rates but for some reason flying at triple pay made it a very enjoyable trip!

. The even better thing is: all three of us are on regular line greenslips...We all got called on the 14th with less than two and a half hours to make a DH flight to NRT. The flight waited 10 minutes for one of us and still made it in 20 or so minutes early. Offline DH up to Sapporo and here we sit!

Only works for 3-5 years then the IRS will be all over you for not turning a profit. Unless you have employees and are running a legit business to just lose money to offset your airline taxes (which is usually harder than just paying taxes in the first place) the IRS will turn your small "side" business into a hobby and you lose all the deductions.
Trick is to have 2 LLC's so that for the three years the one is not making money, the other one can be profitable. then switch them up so you always have profitable years at least every 3-5 for each LLC.
Easiest way though is to donate to charity. Helps you reduce your taxes, helps a charitable cause, doesn't help the government. Everyone wins.
