Being on the hook 18 days a month is gross. 48 hour layovers are also not appealing to me unless I am with family. This job is just that: a job. The things that matter to me are all at home.
I have young kids, being on the hook is irrelevant to me as long as I’m not getting used. Credit to TAFB ratio is the only metric I really care about, with the tie breaker going to less block.
And we totally agree on 48 hour layovers, though I’ve never seen anything close to that.
