They're also common middle days on the commutable 4-days. Having said that if you can accept 2-3 day trip uncommutable on one or both ends it's much easier to get to the 1-3 leg/day trips, at least in BOS.
Notwithstanding the above, my only 5-leg days here were on the 320, transiting through LGB on the middle days of trips out west. I honestly found 5 legs in FiFi to be about the same fatigue level as 3 in the 190, due to the improved ergonomics and overall lower hassle factor flying out west. As always, YMMV. And newhires to the 320 will look like vampires for about 6mos-1 year. THAT is one constant here
Sounds like its time for you to go to Delta, your senior to me. Right.
