Living in base is KEY. I'm very junior at my airline, just finished training in March and I was actually only gone 7 nights during the entire month of June. That is not always going to happen tho. Between the mix of not getting called on reserve a few times and getting day trips or 2 day trips when called, I was only gone those 7 nights last month. The month of July I will be gone 14 nights as I have a line now. It just varies but living in base is a must if you want to see your family as much as possible. The month of May I was gone 14 nights and the month of April I was gone 8 nights. Those months were on reserve too. You'll get a guaranteed 11-12 days off a month on reserve depending on your airline.
