My company has a combination of day trips (called locals), 2 day, 3 day, and 4 day trips. We have almost no redeyes but we have a couple. I’ve never done one. We also have something called “standups” which are also known as “split duty” or “high speeds” which is flying the last flight out to an out station and bringing the first flight back in the morning. They put you in a hotel for 4 hours or more and you pay is typically much more than what you actually fly (on a standup). A friend of mine works at a company that also has 5 day trips.

What you get awarded depends on your seniority, the availability of trips, your base, and the plane you fly. Schedules can sometimes vary wildly month to month if you are very junior, and get more consistent with seniority.
