This was pre-117 though and I've heard the brasilia trips have gotten much worse even for senior people.
Bro trips depend on the base, SLC trips have been terrible lately, I guess they're getting 4 day trips with 11-12hrs of block for 16hrs of credit. There are a lot of SLC guys picking up out of base just for better credit trips. In LAX the trips are usually anywhere from 17-19hrs for a 4 day, lately if you're senior enough there are some 20-23hr credit trips out there if you're willing to work weekends. Losing a couple stations really makes a big impact on trips when you don't fly to many different spots to begin with. My friends in SFO say their trips are decent credit but that's likely going to change with the loss of MOD and the draw down this summer for the runway closures there.
