QOL sounds decent once you have the seniority and can manage your line pretty well. Appreciate all the data!
Pick up as much as you want as a reservist on days off, which would start at 125% according to some fancy common core math our company / union is selling.
As for holding a line, our union data nerd is currently saying that a build up line is 9 months from doh for a FO, almost 11 months for a round 1 line, and then you'll have a lot of control when / how much you fly.
