Min day is the way to go, average day is what we have.
I'm not going to post the trip but for example, day one is 8:30 block, day 2 is 31 hours off in random city, day three is 7:41. Day one and three are NIGHTMARE's and you get a day off away from home with ZERO compensation for it. pay's 16:11, regardless of 430 or 515.
If that were a 2 day trip that paid 16:11, I would be much more excited about it.
I'll play the devils advocate here. That trip would be my first choice if it was two or less long legs on days 1 and 3. 30 hour overnight for me is a slice of heaven. Don't get my wrong I love my wife and half dozen kids but this is my daddy's break while I'm working. I base my life on 65 hours a month, everything else is gravy. We ALWAYS spend what we make. My pay has doubled while I have been here and there is no excuse for ME that 65 isn't enough. So everyone wants something different.
That being said I will only vote for C2015 if it has a good chunk increase in my W2.
