New hires are getting a line with 14-15 days off. I had 17-18 days off a month when I was a senior FO on the 170. I never lost money one time out of 6 years with a cancellation. I was always reassigned after a cancelled flight which you still get paid if you do something else. If you fly a 78 hour line and all of your flights get cancelled for the whole month and you never work 1 minute you still get paid for 75 hours and lose 3 hours of pay. The choice is yours...1.5 years of reserve in a corporate style jet vs 1 month of reserve in an airliner.
You guys defending this place make me laugh. I'd be happy to send you my pairings, looks like with all that time off and great trips you'll have time to look them over. Saying this is far from true is false. I continually do around 22 legs per four day, at least one reduced rest overnight, duty days never below 11-12 hours, and get canceled regularly. Looks like you I have different experiences, not 'true or false' right? Just different. And just for you- Go RAH!
