That's another interesting factor. I prefer doing my 16 days in one chunk and having 2 weeks off straight. I was skeptical coming into it, but turns out I prefer it over constantly going to work. I have more quality time at home. I spent 7 days at home on long call this month also. And for 48+ hour layovers, I like those too. I suppose I like exploring the area and finding things to do.

And we totally agree on 48 hour layovers, though I’ve never seen anything close to that.

I’ve always thought the best metric to measure the value of a contract is credit to TAFB (or even better is time away from home TAFH for trips with DH for commuters). But its too time consuming to add all the trips’ TAFB for the entire year. So credit to days worked is the easy alternative.

I agree. I’m not a commuter and live 20-25 minutes from the KCM line, so credit/TAFH is very easy to track with the total monthly per diem. I do a lot of 1-1 trips that start at 7pm and return at 10am the next day. 2 short legs and 15 hours away from home is definitely not equal to 6 legs and 30 hours away, even though both are 2 “days” worked and ~10.5 hours of credit. It would be nice if more people posted their credit/TAFH along with their earnings.
