That sounds terrible. My usual trips are 1-2-1. Or even better, 1-1.

3 working legs a day is for regional pilots.

Where Southwest get's it's pound of flesh is having a long leg, then adding on to it. While your United friend flies IAD-PHX, overnights, then flies IAD-PHX, you'll do BWI-PHX-SMF. Then day 2 will be SMF-BWI-ALB-BWI. They always add a few short legs onto a long leg.
And I’m appreciative of this practice. It makes our trips efficient and pay nicely per days worked.

for sure! The optimizer must be forced to make efficient trips through work rules.

Average legs/day is neighborhood of 2.5. If I do 4 legs in a day, it’s a lot of work. I think I’ve done 1 5 leg day. Been here 3 years (albeit with some mil leave).

I have been flying the Prime 737. I am looking forward to a stop between BWI and SMF.

What's that like? It sounds fun flying the freighter. Did they leave you a galley and a lav? Seems like all of the fun with a lot less of the drama.
