10 days off on reserve. Tuesdays and Saturdays off... then the other two are random.
Lineholders have been getting 11-12 days off since we got stuck with PBS.
First year pay will be $40 x 70 hours. Roughly $2000 a month after taxes. Your pay will be MUCH different than a regional as there is $1/hr per diem and you'll likely only get 50 hours or so on reserve and 110 hours as a lineholder... and it's taxed.
I wouldn't drive all over unless you already have a bunch of money. Keep in mind you're making about $500 a week. Gas ain't cheap.
