Minimum days off (10, 11, 12, whatever) is in your contract. Maximum days off is not.
So if your current airline has the days off for lines split like this (shortened for space):
10 days off - 50% of all lines
12 days off - 25%
13 days off - 20%
14+ days off - 5%
It may end up looking like this:
10 days off - 100%
As long as you are on reserve it wont mean anything to you though.
