And that is why I don't look at the amount of calendar days, just TAFB and commutability. Calendar days means nothing, at least not in LAS with start/end times all over the clock.
Trip A starts with a redeye to FLL leaving at 23:45, jungle turn, and gets done at 00:15 on day 4 with 3 duty periods, so 15hrs credit.
Trip B starts with redeye to IAH that leaves at 01:00 next day, jungle turn, and comes back to at 2300 on day 2 (I know, illegal, 2 check ins in 1 day) 3 duty periods, so 15hrs credit.
Is trip B really two times better than trip A?
