Seniority is a HUGE factor, as is whether or not you live in base. Too junior to hold a line AND commute? It is going to be difficult AND painful to pick up more than one or two trips, so 5 hours unless you are willing to completely throw away what ever life you have. And even then sometimes the OT just isn’t there.
Which plane and base also can make a difference but what is better one month will likely change, so can’t really say which one is best overall.

Well it's not too hard to be honest if the situation comes up. There are numerous times the first seven days Are scheduled off. Pick up a good 20+ hour four day plus add some turns here or there on days off and at the start or end of sequence and 30 is doable. Now when we are looking at months with hardly any OT you may be lucky to get 5-10 hours of OT.
It all depends on your seniority too. Junior guys would have a much harder time picking up good OT.
The original response said "it depends" which is absolutely correct but kinda vague and wasn't help to the question. Pretty sure we all know "it depends" can be the answer for almost every question people ask on here.
