The thing that seems most important to you is perfectly doable at Jetblue. I am a commuter and bid in such a manner that I rarely have fewer than 8 days off at a stretch. I also rarely have trouble getting rid of trips on the tradeboard, so it’s certainly possible to not only drop below 70, but to stretch those 8 days off into two weeks or longer. But I’ve put in some time here and have a good deal of bidding power.

My point is that it just isn’t gonna happen as a junior lineholder. As with most other airlines, you’ll need to accrue some seniority.
