I fly that route often. It's usually full. I have only ever seen the jumpseat occupied twice. Jumpseat is uncomfortable. I think sitting on a rusty spike would be more comfortable, although I don't want to test that theory.
Right now we use line bid, so your days off are determined your line. Expect 2, rarely 3 days off in a row. Min days off for reserve is 11, or 12 in a 31 day bid. They schedule you for min days off, and sometimes schedule you into your days off.
When we switch to PBS next month, it is whatever PBS scheduler logic will let you get away with. They'll still try to schedule you into your days off.
