close - but no.
the company owns you for 17 days. Most lines are split. This means coming up day before 2x. Now your down to 11 days off. Opps we are short staffed. We need to extend you. 9-10 days off now.
24 hour layovers are the norm. Just long enough to mess up your sleep pattern
you will never break 62. 1/2 day equals 1/2 pay.
but hey, Zero showed up to last class. Maybe it will be different for you. Come on over and see for yourself.
