We may not have a min calendar day but we still have a 1:3.75 trip rig. The lowest 4 day value I've seen is 18, and that only had 3 duty periods. We have a 5:10 duty period average. So any 3 day with 3 duty periods will pay at least 15:30, 4 day 20:40.
This isn't a regional. Much better. We get the slash trips fixed and things will be looking good.

Where is that product?

ORD, I believe, is the only base I can't get into yet as a 4ish year airways guy. There are plenty of people junior to me there but there haven't been any vacancies recently.
They closed the s80 base there and those guys have been sliding over to the 73.
So it could be a while for a newhire. At least a year once things settle down I'd say.

I used to fly a 5 legger in my SFO S80 days (LAX x 5). As they say, I never want to do that again, but I wish we still had that flying for somebody.

Do 5 leg days exist at SWA? Yes. Are they common? No. I've yet to fly five legs in one day in my three years at SWA fwiw. In the rare instance I get awarded a trip day that has a 5 leg day, I just trade out of it, no big deal. The vast majority of legs per day on trips is 2-3 with a 4 leg day thrown in there sometimes. For instance I have a 3 day that pays 25 trips (~ 21.75 credit hours) next week that is easily commutable on both ends that has three legs a day. The misconception that all we do is the Dallas two step or California shuffle is false, but it's there if that's what some people prefer to fly.

All n/b flying combined -
Days worked - 14.5
Pay hrs. - 83.5
TAFB. - 243 hrs
As a new guy you'll do worse than avg.
If you stay n/b in 10 yrs you'll be in the top 1-3% of n/b FO's. That would easily hold whatever you think the 'best' trips are.
