Minimum time off is 10 days a month. Most lines have 12-15 off a month. 13-14 would be average.
Reserves get 10 days off a month. Usually in blocks of 3 days. Sometimes there are loner useless days off. I got 12 off once for some reason with a big break at the end, that was nice.
Commuting to an outstation does not look like fun. If you can get to hold a hub (DEN, MSP) it is not so bad. It looks like 1-4 months to be able to hold a hub as a base right now for a new hire FO, but then you will wait much longer to get a line. The issue is repeated when you look at upgrading as the hubs are more senior on the CA side as well.
