Yes there are day trips that go around, but only if senior people don’t bid for them, and you know how to bid for them correctly. I’ve been doing only day trips the past two months, but I’m actually thinking about going back to 2-3 day trips..they are usually 12 hour days, four legs..yes I get more days off and am home every night, but I’ve also noticed it’s a huge drop in pay since per diem seems to be taking a hit (and seems to be all taxable, correct me if I’m wrong). Wouldn’t be bad on captain pay, but as an FO it kind of hurts lol...making as much as if I was on reserve practically, granted I’m flying around 83-85 hours average.
Just something to think about.
