Normally around 15 block, so I would have to fly over 5 hours more to make more money. Long layovers do not mean less pay as long as you have good rigs. We get paid an extra duty for layovers over 24 hours, so every now and then I will get 15 hours of pay for a 2 leg trip with 35 hours TAFB and 8 hours block.
AA has the same TAFB rig. If I’m flying anywhere near that rig I’ve f’d up big time. My average over the last year is 1.5:1. No thanks.
