I frequently try to arrange my R days in 7 day blocks so that I can take the last day "off." Sometimes VIPS is smart enough to prevent me from doing so but ... if you end up with 24+ hrs. off on a layover then my whole plan gets revised in the company's favor. Of well, I am getting paid for the day

Bad thing is they used to give you a day off, so you might be able to run home or do something. Now it seems they give you 25.5 hours and that's it. Last time they gave me a day on B-res they called at 12:30 and gave me that day off and back on the next day. So, I really didn't have a day off just the hours. Bummer

No even after we went to the 12 hour shifts they'd still give you a calendar day off. Not now.
