Indeed they do, as well as the ACMI carriers that do 17-19 straight. But this thread is in the "regional" section.
Unlike an "international" or ACMI carrier, a "regional" will have you work EVERY day of the 6-12 duty days. Often times at max duty days with minimum efficiency. Making your "rest" periods all but useless as you may not have much down time relax and refocus on your job.
Or conversely, long "rest" periods in crappy hotel locations that offer NONE of the amenities/attractions that the layovers of "international"/ACMI carriers do.
