Ideally you want 30 hours in a 4-day, 24 hours in a 3-day, 16 hours in a 2-day and so on. 30 in 7 days is the legal limit. You gotta be gone for 4 days so you'd rather spend them flying & making money rather than in the hotel or airport. You'll likely never see 30 hours in a 4-day trip. If you see 27 or so hours..... it'll probably be flown by a senior crew. The reserves and junior crews get what's left over and they're often inefficient, or weekends, or early report & late finishes, non-commutable, etc.

Meh..I wouldn't mind it. I'm a reserve and it prevents me from needing a hotel in CLT. It would be better though from the get go if the trip was split up and the flying allocated to producing higher credit four days.

Correct.
A flightcrew member is limited to 100 hours of flight time in 672 consecutive hours (28 days). This is a “rolling” 672 hours and replaces the former limit of 100 hours in any calendar month and the former monthly and quarterly limits for international augmented operations. The 30 or 32 hours in 7 days limit has also been eliminated. A flightcrew member is also limited to 1,000 hours in any 365 consecutive day period. This is a rolling 365 days and replaces the 1,000 hours in a calendar year limit.
A flightcrew member may not exceed 60 FDP hours in any 168 “rolling” consecutive hours (7 days) and 190 FDP hours in any “rolling” 672 consecutive hours (28 days).

That would be nice. I do have a 28 hour 4 day for my next months line. A few lines have multiple 26-28 hour 4 days.

Wow, I just looked at TYS trips for april. There's a bunch of really high credit 4-days in the 24-29 hours range. The average in every base is usually about 20 hours give or take.
