Is this typical? I can see how this is great ("Cha-Ching!") for the union, but it just doesn't seem healthy for the company over the long term, 3 pax legs in 6 days.

The "Cha-Ching" was for making over $330 (extended day) and all I did was drive home.

No, this isn't typical and will vary by fleet. That was my last tour. I'm currently in the hotel after day 3 of this current tour:

Day 1: Airline and fly 3 pax legs (same pax dropping off at different stops)
Day 2: Ferry, pax
Day 3: Ferry, pax

I've flown 9.1 hours in 3 days vs. 8.1 hours my entire last tour. So far my MX jinx hasn't come back. I switched from the Ultra to the Encore and this is my 3rd Encore tour. I did 16.9 in 7 days on tour 1 and that was with breaking the jet and airlining to get another one. This last tour with 8.1 was unusual. My Captain's last 7 day tour had over 30 hours of flying. My personal record high was 29 hours on an Ultra tour and my record low was zero flying in 7 days due to only having a Captain 2 days out of 7 and a MX problem taxiing out.

Jets like the Citation X will do a lot more hours because of all the trans-con they do.
