My typical week:
Hang out at home working on web development projects
Knock off at 2-3pm, go for a mountain bike ride
If OFF, drink beer after ride...if RESV, don't
Come home, cook supper for wife/kids, clean up, do baths, bedtime
Begin reserve period at 1900, check reserve list/flow board to assess likelihood of being called in to work.
Likelihood near zero
Back to computer, plan tasks for tomorrow.
Go to bed.

I get called in to work about 2x a month and do an overnight trip when I get called in.

Figure as long as I'm only making the 75hr monthly guarantee and first year pay rate, my best strategy is to work as little as possible so I can keep my billable hours at the other job as high as possible.

That's the only way I can financially justify the regional airline FO job.
