Yep. I have done 7 legs, almost did 9 til we broke. I used to do 5 a day regularly.
Now three is taxing. I like my two with 5-7 hours of flying and done for 14-19. Honestly though, you do get used to it, but I dont personally want to go back to regional style flying. All that said, SWA is good work if you can get it. all the buddies I have there seem happy enough.

Politely hi-jacking the thread here…I’m a mil guy with a CJO from SWA, so I don’t have experience flying more than 2 legs a day (even flying two legs a day is rare).
Does flying 2-4 legs a day truly get tiring in your 50-60s? To me, it seems SWA offers more days off per month, but you work harder when you’re at work.

It depends on the trips. 3 legs that are relatively quick with a normal sit are fine. Longer legs with longer sits are more fatiguing to me. Some people would rather do a 1 leg transcon.

I remember 28. I was still with my first major. I felt indestructible and I had the brass ring. I had momentum and I was winning. I’d give my left arm to go back (knowing what I know now) and make different choices. I’m jealous of you!
