What are you doing all that time at the outstation? Are you at a hotel, are you sitting around at the airport?
If it’s a hotel, what kind of places do they put you up in? Close to amenities, food, time to work out?
Curious how most pilots spend their time at work during the day when not flying.
Thanks.
Timing will depend on base/run/type, but you typically get a hotel and transportation. Hotels are all decent, pool and/or exercise room. Earn points at most. I usually catnap and read but younger guys may find more to do with time. Some locations adjacent to parks, libraries, etc.
