Too many questions to sum up easily.
A 30 day bid period gives you 11 days off, a 31 day bid period gives you 12.
Just because the month ITSELF has 28, 30, or 31 days doesn't mean the bid period will. An FRL (floating reserve line) has 13/14 days off. The downside is you DON'T get to choose the days on/off, or the callout time. You can "request", but that's it.
R1 call out is 3am, R2 is 8 am, and R3 is 1130 am for now.
Best piece of advice, read your contract. Specifically the Reserve Pilots section.
