All open time is at least 150%. This is good as min day is 4 hours, so a DTW-TVC-DTW turn is six hours. If you choose to pick up, you get no extra days off, it's on your time. If the reserve grid is green, you can try dropping a day and picking up flying instead.
I know folks crediting 130+ a month doing this.
