This clears up a lot! Thank you

What is the typical last day of a work block like? Usually get home in time for dinner/drinks?

LOFL………no.

I mean, some restaurants and most bars will still be open at midnight soooo...

So late dinner and last call:)

Yeah. I've gotten home at 1030 on my last day and 2355. Most days tend to be a leg or two (or three) followed by an airline (or two) to get into my home base as late as possible. Seems like 14+ hr duty days on go home day have happened more than < 10 hr duty days. Take that how you will.

Pretty accurate. I'd say for me 60% of the time it's been the 2350 arrival, and 40% of the time somewhere between 1100-1900, more often than not closer to 1900. I just plan on a 2359 arrival on my last day and if I'm home earlier great, if not it's fine because I don't make plans until my first day off.

If you get in after midnight you get compensated right?
How does scheduling know the block in time…or is it scheduled arrival before midnight with no late arrival factored in?

You email or message them. Its pretty easy to verify if they wanted to. Never had any problems. (whatever time you block in at gate counts)

what is the compensation for after midnight?
