Tony...
Thanks for the answer...I should have directed it to you originally! Ups pays perdiem for the week long trips that at total tafb. Also, the sort time counts for our duty day for early duty window time (1.5-1) so under this contract, if the sort delays you getting to the hotel appreciably, at least you get some shekels out of it.
Does the fact your trip ends in mem make it easier to drop the rest of the outbound portions or is that frowned upon? Our trips don't end until the pairing ends at the end of the week.
