As long as you're at your original tfp for the month anything you pick up from the company pays 2nd yrs rate. Not hard to do on reserve at all. You won't change your whole line to 2nd yrs pay but you can definitely nab a few days. Gotta be willing to work more though

Not quite.
If a reserve pilot has the assigned trip in TTGA requiring a call to Scheduling to pick up, that trip will pay second-year rates as well because it's been run through open time even though an employee listed it.
So.. my tactic would be to bid it premium, let it go to a reserve, call Scheduling, tell them you want to Extra-Fly it, and voila - second-year pay at straight. One small caveat is if the reserve has Own preference for the trips, but the great majority do not.
