Others have already answers this, but just to be sure that it’s totally clear: when you outbase, you should only expect 4 days (technically, 32 hour periods) off that month. It’s possible that you might get one or two more, but that’s all you should expect.

No guarantees of where you get your four days off. For example let's say you outbase in Germany. There is a good chance you'd get your days off in the Middle East or E. Europe.
Think of outbasing as a solid month of reserve in exchange for money.

Nobody has mentioned PRIA (Pilot Records Improvement Act 1996).
If you're new to the airlines you need to understand that your training records follow you for the rest of your career. Why is that important? Every time you switch a job, you new employer will receive your training records from last employer.
Bust a checkride or need extra OE (operational experience) and it follows you for the rest of your career. It may not be a deal breaker but it's something to be aware of.

You say that like it's a bad thing. In the past bad pennies moved from airline to airline hiding their checkered past. In today's pilot market you have nothing to fear from one extra SIM session or similar. if you are competent you have nothing to fear from PRIA. Failing a checkride is a flag and should be something future employers know about.

Right. Well, maybe I wasn't specific enough, but I was responding in a thread about a prospective pilot applicant with 1500 hours, an ATP and no airline experience. In that case, it might be a bad thing. But I agree overall, PRIA is generally good for crew members and the public.
