(spoken intro, smooth hype voice)
Yeahhh…
Your boy Poker Pilot back at it again.
Shout out to my boy Phil who has a craaaazy Ex Wife.
Another reassignment… another premium trigger…
Another captain tryna explain why he needs the money…
Mo premium… mo problems, baby…
(beat drops, melodic hook)
Mo premium, mo problems
Soon as that pay hits, everybody got options
Boat on the lake, condo down in Naples
Three ex-wives got him flyin’ a crazy schedule
Mo premium, mo problems
Every reroute turnin’ into dollar signs and nonsense
U.P.A got ’em all refreshin’ Crew Portal late
Chasin’ that green line credit like it’s fate
(rap verse, laid back swagger)
Captain pull up in a Yukon Denali
Sayin’ “I need this trip, man, my alimony costly”
Section 20 this, reassignment that
Dude calculatin’ premium while he brief the damn departure
One guy got a lake house up in Michigan
Another got a ski trip with expenses kickin’ in
One bought a fishing boat bigger than his slip
Now he prayin’ for senior manning every trip
Everybody talkin’ “I’m just here for the flying”
But they smile different when the premium multiplying
Weather in Newark? They ain’t even mad
“Delay me two more hours, that’s add pay I never had”
And the F.O. fresh hired thinkin’ life is sweet
Till he see these captains hustlin’ reserve on their feet
One says, “Kid, let me tell you how this game go…”
Then opens up an Excel sheet for his Tahoe
(melodic hook, bigger energy)
Mo premium, mo problems
Soon as that pay hits, everybody got options
Boat on the lake, condo down in Naples
Three ex-wives got him flyin’ a crazy schedule
Mo premium, mo problems
Every reroute turnin’ into dollar signs and nonsense
U.P.A got ’em all refreshin’ Crew Portal late
Chasin’ that green line credit like it’s fate
(beat switch, faster flow)
Now the group chat blowin’ up at 3 AM
“Anybody see that premium ORD-GCM?”
Somebody droppin’ screenshots like stock exchange trends
“Bro it’s 100 percent, call your scheduler friends!”
Meanwhile another captain on wife number four
Tryna justify a golf cart and a marble floor
Sayin’ “This trip right here pays for Cabo”
Then he picks up a turn that lands at 2 tomorrow
Got a buddy workin’ every holiday alive
Cause his daughter’s out in Scottsdale livin’ influencer life
Another got twins both headed off to college
So he pickin’ up premiums like it’s aviation knowledge
And every time Crew Scheduling call the phone
Dudes answer faster than they own kids at home
“Hello? … premium? … deadhead included too?”
Bro already packin’ snacks before the call is through
(slowed down bridge, smooth confidence)
Yeahhhh…
Everybody got a reason
Some pay tuition… some fund bad decisions
Some buy jet skis… some buy Rolexes
Some just tryna survive second divorces and Lexus-es
U.P.A language got ’em feelin’ like lawyers
Arguin’ rig and premium while eatin’ airport oysters
And somehow every month they swear they’re done
Till another green dollar sign trip pop up… then they run
(final hook, anthem energy)
Mo premium, mo problems
Every reroute got the pilots out here mobbin’
Premium alerts got the whole crew locked in
Like Wall Street traders with roller bags walkin’
Mo premium, mo problems
Soon as that pay hits, everybody starts callin’
Boat payments, lake trips, alimony drama
Still signin’ up for premium tomorrow mornin’
(spoken outro)
Yeahhhh…
Another month… another premium chase…
Another captain explainin’ why he absolutely needed that trip…
Meanwhile Crew Scheduling sittin’ back like…
“We got ’em again.”
Poker Pilot out.
