Absolutely. There is tons of PZ/RN out there in advance, if one is flexible on dates. That has been a very valuable component of being 1K, especially since 2020. Both wife and I have always used up our PPs.
Obviously when one flies for work out of a hub, on set dates, especially when every other OPM flyer is also going to work - your odds of an upgrade are very diminished
