My typical regional days was 2-5 legs, credit 4-5, duty 10-12.
Typical major day is 1, occasionally 2, legs, credit 7-9, duty 8-10.
There are some regional planes/domiciles which due to location/mission will have more "major-esque" schedules.
When I finished my regional flying on the -700 it was 2-3 turns a day. But yeah, in general the legs will be longer at a legacy, though in some of the narrow bodies this may not necessarily be the case. A regional -175 pilot probably won’t be doing much different from a Delta A-220 pilot.
But still, both will be flying weekends. The statement that at a regional you will fly weekends, like you won’t elsewhere, is pretty silly.
