It's difficult to gauge what a "bad trip" is vs. a "good trip" because it seems there is no baseline.

If you're a 25-year CA, or you're fresh out of the regionals, or you came from the military, the definition of a bad trip is going to vary.

What is a "bad trip/bid" or a "good trip/bid" in layman's terms? Layover location, number of legs, pay per hours? What do you avoid, and why?

Please describe 24-48 hours on a crappy trip vs. the same on a desirable trip.

Just trying to figure to what I'm getting into.

Thanks.
