Productive long haul trips equals more pay in the wallet. I don't know how long it would take to get from Houston to Canada in a 175, but I imagine you couldn't fit more than one leg per day without timing out on the second. So it sounds like 1 or 2 legs per day, great block times and less hassle than you would have with multiple cities.
Yes, I have been doing IAH-Toronto turns this week. 7 hour blocked day trip. We get Edmonton, Calgary, Hartford and a shorter OKC. on Aug. 15th I believe. We still have the shorter AUS and MSY right now. But unless they throw SAT on us that should be it.
