Looks like they're keeping you on your toes - not much time to sneak in much of a gym session or a run at the end of each day!
Cheers, appreciate the detail you've provided.

I'm over 70 and to me it's not that bad. I guess I'm use to it because at the 121 airline I worked at previously 3-5 leg days was, and still is, normal.

I flew 121 for close to 40 years too. Over 20 years as a line trainer and check airman. 4 leg days was the norm too. Walked onto the jet… placed my bag in the overhead. Grabbed a cop of coffee, passing the galley, on the way to the cockpit, took my seat. Did the usual preps and checklists. Then the thump as the main entry was closed… pressed the Master Caution to verify Doors closed and off we went.
No bag slinging, catering issues, fueling issues, flight plans… fairly benign for the most part. Most labor intensive, before real computer paperwork, was accomplishing a manual W&B using average weight units which was not so bad. Yeah… some typical issues arose… Mx. hotels, catering, Pax/Fas, yada yada.
I would enjoy to continue on, as I enjoyed the training and checking duties. But could not do with under a 135 program. Too many hats to wear.

The last time I had to sign a training contract was at Planesense, and I left there in 2013, and had 4 different 91/135 jobs since, before I started at the airlines.

6 different companies in the past 10 years? Lol, I don't think you're helping the argument against a contract.
