Why yes..... but that doesn't make a difference in what the post is asking for.

Instead of working 7 days in 2 weeks, they would work 8 days in 2 weeks, but still have a paycheck for each that would be descent. Honestly, you will get more $$ and miles with a 4-3 than a 7-7. At some point in the 7 days, if your running hard, you will need a 34 restart. With the 4 day run, you can avg a good 2000-2400 miles, take the 3 days off, then run another 2000-2400 compared to the 3000 in the 7 days.

Gotta look at the big picture.

Yep, gotta always remember that evil 70 hour / 34 hour reset equation.

Hmmm....that's a good point, however for some--like me the 7-7 might still be a better plan:

a) If you don't live that close to the terminal, then travel time to home and then back to the terminal has to be factored in.

b) Due to personal/home/family reasons it just seems less disruptive and smoother to take off once instead of twice per 2 weeks.
