Also what's a typical layover like for you guys. Do they keep them pretty short or do you end up sitting for a few days?
We DO NOT have trip protection. We only have leg protection. You get the greater of scheduled or what you do, per flight. If you get awarded 80 hours, you will not get paid that unless you fly it.
I have sat for up to 5 days in one place, then months I flew my butt off like the example above. I have heard of guys chasing a plane around the world DHing and never flying.
