I'm a junior WB FO and have been so for the past five years. I live in base and that makes all the difference. I can sit short call from my house and I make every effort to avoid flying when I get assigned a reserve month. I get lines during the heavy vacation months (July/Aug) and the holidays. I try to fly my ass off during those months, so I'm happy to return to a reserve month to lay around and go to the gym. If you can sleep on a plane and can find a rhythm for adjusting your schedule when on the road, WB rocks. I look at domestic lines, even very senior, and I just think "that's like real work!"
