On the 73 side you can plan on 12 or 13 days off a month once off reserve, and it will be unproductive all-nighters. With a little seniority you’ll get up to 14 days off. Trading as a junior guy is pretty much not possible so plan to fly whatever you’re awarded.
Once you’re half way up the FO list you can reliable get 15 days off a month and sometimes get 16/17 days off.
A lot of our trips are uncommutable on both ends.. 0500 show on day 1 and 2330 return on day 4 type things. A lot of trips are commutable on one end but not the other.
