It sounds like premium OT is essentially non existent. OT is there, like other say, but not necessarily great. Also people post their own trips for someone to pick up. I don’t consider that Open Time, but some people use the term interchangeably.
Anyway out here on the west coast, lots of 10hr 2 day redeyes going east. So if you’re making guarantee and pick up 2 of those on days off (open time, or someone posts for pickup), that’s 95 hours.
Same here on the east coast.... Pretty sure at one point the only OT was a bunch of 3 day redeye PHX overnights that paid 11hrs credit.
