What's a "local"? A day trip?
Schedules could be anything from 2 days a week with 5 days off to 6 straight with one day off. The higher credit trips you fly, the more days off you get. Senior 18 days off a month isn't unheard of. Junior will be 11-12 days off a month. Senior pilots can group trips, junior pilots get a shotgun schedule with scattered isolated days off.
With high seniority, you can mostly work whenever you want here.
With low seniority, you cannot.
Seniority is everything here and plays more than most airlines because of the way we fly.
