Back before you came on, there were a bunch of 10 unit runs in the system, AMF bumped them all down to 8 units. It was also possible to double up runs that were 8 unit, short duty day runs. Like in OAK there was a run that went out in the afternoon to SAC and back, that was an 8 unit run. You could also do the 99 run at night to BUR that was an 8 unit run and collect 16 units. They put the X on that as well, so you do double the work for 8 units. Yay?
I wouldn't plan on doing more than 40 units a week that is for sure. Only way to do that now is by being a training captain.
