Line Holder. Unless you're senior to have day trips or two days, you will be off from 12 to 17 days.
That's a general rule, now just depend which airline and where are you going to be based.
I don't commute and it really isn't all that terrible. On reserve, as long as you aren't airport reserve, you spend a lot of time home with the family. If you figure that you have 11 days off a month, you'll be in your bed an additional 4-6 days on the last days of reserve/trips at a minimum. Contracts vary as well. For some regionals, it is a stipulation that you cannot spend more than 4 consecutive nights out of domicile.
