Lots of moving parts with this question, but a few factors to consider.
definitely always budget for the monthly (minimum) pay guarantee (MPG), you and the family won’t be disappointed or caught off guard. We can all end up in the “Jelly of the month” club vs. putting in the swimming pool! 😀
it’s almost impossible to predict with any real accuracy on slow times of the year vs. busy. Current factors are attrition and staffing for each airframe, additional demand from our customer base, new business (sub-service) for other carriers, general chaos in the world at large that mainline carriers can’t or won’t touch from a business model stand point, etc.
with that, as a snap shot, there is plenty of extra flying opportunities on OFF days; which means time away from family and friends.
Pay Credit Hours (PCH) can be over and above the 64 guarantee, but too many nuances to mention here.
Hope this helps.
