Certainly not enough...even my one 7-leg day (of which I flew 4) left me wanting. But typically we'll do 2-4 per day...

Average is around 3. Occasionally, up to 5, and never more than that.

7 legs means a 12+ hour duty day most times...at least the way AWAC was building their schedules a couple years ago. F that...

4-6 legs/day was typical.

Most I've done is 6 on the ATR and CR7. I prefer 2 leg days.

Something I don't understand is how y'all work your rear-ends off for years to finally make it into the right-seat of an RJ, and then complain when they actually schedule you to fly a full day?!?!

They're the same guys that complain unless their break between legs is around 1 hour. 30 minutes is too short, but anything over 1.5 is hellish and unproductive

I busted my ass in hopes of getting a job that wasn't as much work.
