From what I've seen doing day trips like that and only getting paid 75 hours should give you 14-18 days off.
THANK YOU! you just PROVED you have no idea what a CDO is that the original poster was referring to. A CDO is not day trips. It is Continuous Duty OVERNIGHT! You fly one leg at 2200 or whenever, get 6 or 8 hours in a hotel, and then return at 0600, never being released from duty. If you did that with 14-18 days of as you suggest, you would onkly be working 7-8 CDO's a month. THAT would not be productive.
