Multiple legs can be rough in the winter if deicing a lot. Other than that it’s not so bad. My current trip is 3-2-3, next trip is 2-3-3-4.
My gripe is usually the longest day is the last day, like my next trip which blocks 8.5 on day four.
There are five leg days in the Hawaii flying, but those are mostly very short legs.
Id rather have four legs on the west coast in nice weather than four through DEN and MDW when the snows are blowing, but some folks bid for winter ops with the idea of making more money.
