Which works in theory, but is severely restricted by airline schedules. I earn the comp time for those days that end up being like 18 hours long, so some part of that has me travelling outside my normal work hours. I'm not getting paid overtime, but I am getting some of that time back to take care of the chores and other stuff that I can't do at 30,000 ft.

I never get compensated for traveling on my days off for Monday morning starts. So I generally try to always take the following Monday of a holiday span off so I can actually treat the Sunday before as a play day. What's my company do? They announce that they will be trying to get customers to accept a Tuesday morning start on all such weeks. Which means I get to travel Friday evening or Saturday morning at the weekend.
