Thanks again.
If you’re asking if there’s some bonus pay for hotel lockdown, the answer is a qualified no. Someone already mentioned the $100/stay travel money credit. Your PAY while on layovers is the same as if you were working. With few exceptions (for trips longer than 2 days) it’s a simple trip rig calculation - divide hours (or minutes) away from base by 3.75 and voila - that’s your pay. There are overages for various things, most notably block over 8 duty periods, but that’s usually the gist.
As far as going out, hell yeah we do. Lots of opportunities to do so when not locked down if you have an ounce of motivation.
In the past two years I’ve done probably 2 dozen day or side trips outside of layover cities to explore or do active stuff. Not every layover allows it - and sometimes you just wanna sleep, eat and lie around - but plenty of opportunity internationally on both the 77 and MD.
