Thats awesome. I worked my ass off in 2016 and make $90k on the old cba….1st yr pay was $50/tfp. Be nice to bump that up more and see newbies pulling close to $170-200 if they work it.

The trick is to cause an illegality with a lead-in 4-day trip necessitating them to drop it altogether. So for example, if you have a min paying 4-day, and you end up with the original line that was paying 90 TFP, you'll end up with 64 TFP threshold of 1st year after they drop that 4-day for illegality.

Especially if they play the overlap game. I used to crush it like this in my first year... I'd lose as much first year liability as possible in the overlap dropping me down in the 60s and 70's TFP liability. That ends up being your new threshold for the second year pay.

Bid via OT, trade via Elitt, or pick up from TTGA. I’d wait til you get your April award and then pick up something end of March. Doesn’t work well with rsv since they’ll just mush it together to make a 5-6 day block or adjust rsv times to make you legal.

Search the SWAPA site for "Month-to-Month Overlap Review" for a good explanations of how it works.

Overlap is playing with fire...I use it but you have to watch out. Ever flown with someone who is on a six day trip or seen a six day trip in ELITT? That pilot didn't understand/utilize all the tools and got themselves into a bad overlap siutation.
