At Republic I’ve averaged 16 days off since I’ve held a line. Had as many as 19 days off, and as little as 14 (14 was my own fault, picked up a red flag trip for the $$$$ and burned a couple off days). I don’t typically pick stuff up though.
The higher your daily credit is, the more days off you can achieve. So you might not get the cushy 2 leg days with 18hr overnights, but I did 16-18 days off all last year and averaged 70hr block with 90+hr of credit. If you want those lower credit, easier days... there are plenty of those to be had.
If you are commuting to a hub base (DCA, LGA, EWR, etc...) it’s easier to same-day commute before and after trips. Outstation base trips are rarely commutable on both ends.
