You don't work for a contract 'regional' carrier either. Schedules like what you mention don't go to new folks at Fee For Departure contract 'regional' carriers. That I can assure anyone.

I have pretty decent seniority at my airline and average about 16 days on per month. I can, about every 3 months or so get a group of about 7 days in a row off if I bid max days at the end of one month and max at the beginning of the next.

At a regional expect to work 4-day trips which start early and end late and work about 80-90 hours per month. Not ideal for commuters.

I don't know what major jobs are like, but they are apparently better if you are DAL right side.
