I might leave if I win $245M powerball.
But then again my plan is to keep that secret. So I might not leave. But I may drop a lot of stuff. Could you do that? I mean $245M is out there but say you won a lottery or something and were pulling down $500K on an annuity and didn't want to quit but you'd like to fly once a month. Just become a REG pilot and drop trips?
How does that work?

Shoot.........I'd just no show if I didn't want to fly a trip. It would take them a while to fire you, and then you could say "remember that guy that won the lottery a while back"?

It can be done...as long as there is enough res coverage to allow the drops. I know a few mid to low level lineholders that drop their entire line down to 0 hours and then whiteslip the "good" trips as they fall into open time. A risky strategy (unless you have $245M in the bank), but it seems to work pretty good for them.
Better yet, put all your trips on the swap board and let someone else pull a 120hr. month...while you sit on the beach in FLL, watching the planes pass overhead, on their way to the next 7 hour, snow storm induced, ramp hold out in JFK!
You can watch me sail by too...look, over there to the left, that's me, flying...a hull!

I saw 3 or 4 in Narita last week, I think they are going to Bankok, DTW, and a couple other places, but not sure, check the DTW 747 bid package.
The funniest part of my entire 6 day trip was spending about the first two hours of the leg home (NRT-ATL) listening to some UAL clown at 320, crying on 123.45 about "...all these Slow Movers up ahead, Holding US down!"
He must have asked about 4 different airplanes, at 330, 340, 350, 360, if they could all climb...so HE could get to 340!
It's all about him, obviously!

We spent $4M more on peanuts this year. So according to FAs you're going to get 1 bag now, not two... I mean to. Or too?
Anyways this is a text from my buddy on the 88:

So this wasn't in my flight but a pax came on my flight wearing one of our pink ties signed by the crew. She said that the capt auctioned it off for breast cancer yesterday and she paid $405 for it. I was impressed...
