I personally chose the latter view on it; resizing if I would go back early, I would get 3 4-day trips and then realize the first 2 trips pay the same I would get at home, and only “in the money” on the 3rd trip
That's only for line holders. Back in September I was on LCR and never got called. Obviously it won't always be like that, but if reserves are not flying all that much then it makes sense to come back early if you were just sitting at home on EIL anyway.
