Of course they do.
Im just pointing out what risks we, as WN pilots take many times a day/week. We fly more legs than most. Thats not secret. Taking off and landing is inherently more risk inclusive than cruise. Therefore, more legs is more risk.
**** regionals do more legs than WN into crappier airports, no doubt. When I did 135 I took more risks going into nasty airports at 3 am with zero snow removal etc, hoping the book numbers would work.
I still think we should be paid alot.
