If you live in base it might not be that bad. You could go weeks without getting called best case.

But that's very dependent on staffing for the equipment, domicile, and season. Unfortunately new-hires don't usually have a lot of choice, if any, as to where they get based.

Once you're off reserve as a junior lineholder, you'll probably do four days until you get enough seniority to hold standups or locals. Once you're senior enough (>40% might be a good guess) then you can bid all locals and be home every night, assuming your domicile has a typical amount of locals.

But it will take some luck to get into a reserve situation where you don't get called much as a new-hire.
