FTB, depends on what kind of trip you want/bid. For me, a high productivity burner is what I bid for because if I'm away from home, I want to make as much as possible per day. Those lines aren't quite as fat this time of year because of schedule "optimization." Others bid lowest block time per day with higher rig pay so that they can pick up on their days off. It varies a lot, you could have a 3 day that pays 26 "trips" or a 3 day that pays 19.5 trips (minimum contractual is 6.5 per day). I guess that means a minimum 3 day would pay about 17.2 hours flight time, but we have some three days that block less than 13 hours and some that block around 23 hours.

The more aggressive players bid low block/max rig pay or give away their bid lines and wait by the phone for a trip that pays time and a half.

I'm sure that's all as clear as mud.
