Each day is valued at 3.9 hours but it's not a min day. Only matters if you can get a drop, vacation, sick, or training.

While on reserve I had a two day 12 hour trip followed next sequence by a five day 10 hour trip. Awful tough to break guarantee on reserve like that. And as pointed out, no daily guarantee, just the 75 for the month. You can bust your butt for a couple days, but a few slow days makes it all for naught.

Thankfully we have rules that prevent the worst abuse of reserves.

Some 7-10 hour 3 day-trips (which you can most of the time trade away from to a much more productive 4-day), but the 7-9 hour 4-days in open time are scraps from trips where people pick up the turns from the first or last day.
