62 hours (50 first year).
Flight pay credit.
Time away from base divided by 4.95. I keep in mind that your fist and last days are not complete days. So if you leave a noon on day one and get back at noon on day 17, your min pay for the month will be 77.6 hours.
How this really shakes out depends on equipment, base and the current scheduling fad.
