Does anyone have any answers to how many days away I should really expect as a new FO? Or, is path ambiguity just something I'll need to accept?
As a new FO you can expect to have 12 days off. When you are junior you will have to commute in the day before and usually the day after a trip so this cuts down on your home time.
