Important to note that one 4 day is equivalent to four 1 days so the flying is heavily skewed to 4 day trips even though it looks like a relatively even split. 1 and 2 days are usually very senior.

It’s also heavily base dependent

Dfw breakdown is
1-day 24 pairings
2-day 26 pairings
3-day 62 pairings
4-day 366 pairings

During the 4 days you’re out in FLL MCO MIA LAS LAX IAH BWI and we’re doing day turns out of those cities.

as usual 1 day and 2 day pairings go very senior

That looks like F9's flying from ORD. Not enough local stuff so you shipout to somewhere else, do their flying and then go home.

Anyone able to share the trip mix for DTW and ORD?

Correct me if I'm wrong please, but what I think you are saying is if you are MCO based you might have four 1-day trips back to back right? Terrible if you are a commuter, but great if you live near base and can spend every night in your own bed?

What I’m saying is that it looks like there are almost as many 1 pairings as 4 day pairings. That would make someone assume that they have just as much chance of flying day trips as they do 4 days which isn’t the case. You need 4 one day pairings to do the same flying as 1 four day pairing. What I’m saying is the flying is highly concentrated into 4 day trips. If you think you have a shot at doing day trips because of the number posted above, you don’t.

And don't forget, multi-day trips have a minimum 10 hrs rest - 1hr credit for every 3.50 hr Away from base. with day trips, you are just looking at 5 hour min for day, while every 24hrs away from base gives you 6.9 credit. So you can be home every night, but you are also giving up credit. Additionally, per diem is taxable if not overnight
