Just ask someone at the FAA. Much easier to trash talk online than actually talk to a FAA inspector that oversees the company.

If they don't give you a commuter room, you can submit for reimbursement up to the amount for an in base hotel room (I think it's ~$70). I agree that the company welshing on the commuter rooms are BS, but they at least try to make it up. As to using your commuter rooms, that's on you.
Reservists get 11 days off and work the rest of the month. I tell reservists to pick their 11 days off and just expect to work the rest of the month, usually works well as long as there's no holidays or scheduling strangeness.
As a line holder, expect to get 13-16 days off. More if you are an FO that isn't needed right now. Less if you're a low seniority CA.
As a mid level CA, it's easy for me to get ~14 days off a month. I sometimes get extended, but that's usually for an extra turn/overnight and then i'm done after that. No full 3-5 leg days during an extension. Plus there's a ton of 300% going around for the asking if you want to make great pay and build some of that 121 TPIC.
