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.

And we totally agree on 48 hour layovers, though I’ve never seen anything close to that.
I’ve always thought the best metric to measure the value of a contract is credit to TAFB (or even better is time away from home TAFH for trips with DH for commuters). But its too time consuming to add all the trips’ TAFB for the entire year. So credit to days worked is the easy alternative.
