As it is, I frequently manage a 1 day at the front or back end of a 4 day when I pattern bid. With an easy to reach crash pad, a pilot could knock out an entire month of flying with a couple of 5 day stretches of 1 day trips.
Speaking specifically about the 320, they max out at about 6 hours. Not great compared to the efficiency of the 73 island turns. I know a lot of senior guys loved doing those. 2 5 day blocks of island turns and they were done for the month.
