right now a regular day around here involves a lot of sitting around. the schedules are pretty inefficient, so in an average trip you will have at least 2 days where you only do 2-3 legs. the day will end either mid afternoon and start early the next day or with one of the last flights out to do the afternoon flight the next day, for a 15 hour layover in an outstation nearly every night. this is nice if the layover is in one of the better cities and you have other things such as school work or such to do. can be terrible if you're in some of the other less than desirable hotels.
hope this helps a little bit, feel free to ask me anything else, happy to share some info.
