Steve,

Where do you live and would you be willing to move? I did the regional thing for four years and it was ok but the corporate gig is much better! In November I worked four days and had two overnights. Now that was a slower than normal month, but on average I would say I work 10-12 days a month and have only two overnights a month. Like Boiler said, even though I am "on call" we have three pilots for one airplane, so when someone needs a day or two off we just keep the other guys in the loop so at least two of us are always available. But so far in my time here the shortest call out I have had has been two days because we usually have our schedule a week in advance. Just keep in mind that not all corporate gigs are created equal. It all comes down to who you know and where you live or are willing to move to. Hope it helps.
