Like ANG says, work rules/rigs make all the difference in the world.
FWIW, I'm a 12 yr WB FO line holder (except for one month where I bid reserve and didn't fly the entire month and no FSB). Last year, on average, for every block hour I flew I got paid about 1.5hrs.
Flew about 800 hrs last year (yes on purpose) and was paid over 1200hrs. That's just the regular flight pay (not PS, per diem, etc).
I doubt I ever had less than 16 days off in a month with most being 18-20.
It can be done.
