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
While you are right about the rigs the no four days are 96 hours away from base. And many four days do have soft time but they are usually not the higher credit trips. Also you are incorrect about doing turns sacrificing credit. Yes it will be hard block most of the time but four one day trips almost always is more credit than one four day trip

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.
I see, thanks for the clarification.

Navblue does the same when it shows the percentages. You really need to multiply the amount of pairings by the number of days in the pairing. Vegas, just over 50% of the pairings are 4 days, just over 10% are day trips. "So for every 5 4-day lines there is 1 day trip line?"' nope, you can't build more than 4 lines with just day trips, but you can build over 60 lines with 4 day trips.
