The fewer legs the better, especially in the winter. Less walk arounds. Also less time you're not getting paid for.

October 2004 I flew 88 legs for 81 hours of block in a jet out of CVG, if I never do that again it will be too soon!!

CVG-DAY-CVG-SDF-CVG-TOL was day one if I remember right. Turns out there are things I miss about the 328.

9 legs 14 hour duty day on day six of a 2/4 day can get long. After that trip I was hearing props in my sleep.

I've seen some newer E-170 schedules with 6 and 7 legs days. of course, that kind of flying is saved for go-home day, and the previous three days of your trip are 2 leg days with 18 hour overnights. The cmpany just can's send you home on a good note...

my hat is off to you lads. I b!tch when I have to fly for more than 4 hrs, and that is the only leg a day. As said before, grossly underpaid!

Just flew 7 legs today. Most I have flown is 8. Since the retirement of the mini-whackers (Q200) we have been getting a bunch of the high leg days in the mega-whackers (Q400).
