30 nights plus per diem for 14 hours pay is probably close. But it doesn't end until you eventually DH the crews home. The optimizer left a crew there after flying a 99xx flight down and had them fly the passenger flight back. It started a perpetual 8 pilot layover. It will be fixed in May with a DH back and a return to 24 hr SYD layovers.
