LOL.....Not quite. 10 hours is pretty standard. 20 is not unheard of, but it's generally 10-12 hours. Don't try to compare it to airline layovers. 10 hours in Bermuda is just like 10 hours in Tulsa.

This would be better answered if you talk to one of us in person. Way too many variables to type here. We don't have an "on call" status. We are either on or off. Usually if we are on duty (with no flights) they have us "standby" at the airport, although it could be at the hotel. Our duty days are usually pretty full. It is NOT like corporate/charter where you fly A to B and sit for 6 hours and fly home.

Lots of variables here too. It depends on the plane you fly, the day of the week or the time of year. It could be 6, 1 hour legs or it could be 1, 6 hour leg. Just for averages....I'd say 4 legs/day.
