I often bid by the number of alarm clocks I'd have to set every month. "Oh...but you can hold the 8 hr turns." Great....0500 alarm clocks. I'd rather fly the 2 day trips....day 1 - no alarm clock, golf, lunch, go to work, no alarm clock on the layover, home for a late dinner on day 2. "But that's 2 days for only 11.5 hrs. A turn would get you 8 hrs. So 8x 11.5 hr trips (zero alarm clocks, can't golf (or whatever) 8 days a month. Turns? 11 wakeups and miss 11 days of golf. Everyone's math is different. If I wanted more full days off I'd grab some turns.
