A lot of our schedules are UPS, meaning leave in the morning, all day layover, return to base at night.
ZippyNH brings up some valid points. Be flexible for weather/customer/mechanical delays, and get your rest. But yeah, the time is yours. We have had pilots do online courses on layovers, bring in extra income etc. But again, you need to show up to work rested and ready to go.
