How many days off could you expect to hold after 1, 2, and 3 years with current hiring?

How about for Captains after upgrading?

I know there are things you can do, such as having a vacation day touch a trip, etc., but I'm trying to figure out max days off you can expect with a regular line. You hear of airlines where pilots are getting lines with 17 or 18 days off, just wondering if that is possible here and after how long.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your feedback.
