At the very least name what base you're considering. Do you really expect someone to research every base for you?

For LAS calendar days off is a useless metric. Many trips duty off between 23:00 and 23:59, and plenty end between 00:01 and 00:59. Difference in days off: 1. Actual difference in QOL and pay: 0. Same-ish for starting trips. Lots start between 05:00 and 08:00. Lots start between 21:00 and 23:30 with a red-eye. Same thing.

ALV probably 80-85hrs.

Probably ATL or IAH. Is it significantly different between bases? I’ll be commuting for the next couple of years at the very least, so I’m not necessarily locked in on a single one. The possibility of being able to average 85/mo vs barely meeting min guarantee would make the initial pay cut much more bearable.

Trying to average 85 and commute, while being junior, that doesn’t sound fun.

Moral of the story, never plan on making more than min guarantee.
