Are you asking after *every* pairing? The majority? At least one?
Quite realistic to get at least four days off after one or most pairings on most fleets in most bases with even just a little seniority, especially if you're open to the longer trips (4+ days). I'm at about 60% seniority in my BES and have been enjoying 5-6 on/5-9 days off between pairings for the last 6 months or so. May have been able to hold it even earlier but the wife and I didn't figure out this kind of schedule worked so well for us until we tried it about 6 months ago. Up until then we had been doing a pretty standard 3-5 on/3-5 off kind of schedule. Definitely prefer the longer blocks of off days.
