Some guys run side businesses. Some will do extended days for extra money (if it's busy season and the days are available). I spend a lot of my free time volunteering for the union, and the rest of it taking care of my home and "real life" to take the load off my wife.

One nice thing about having a whole 7 days if that you can take a little "mini vacation" if you like. For example, if you're at the end of a tour and in a city you like, you can be released from duty, and they'll reimburse you for a ticket to anywhere you like, up to what they were going to spend to get you home. I've ended tours in cities where I have family a couple of times now.
Wow that sounds great! I like how they reimburse you as long as you find something of the same value or better. Sounds like they really take care of you guys.
