Pilottalk,
Most FO's flying standard bids lines fly about 30 to 40 hrs per month from what I can tell. There is other special flying that you can bid for three month bid periods that have 75 hrs or so of flying. Yes, LAS is an active base but it's pretty senior for both seats.

Everything else AgCat said is about right for your questions Pilottalk.
For LAS there are only 5 CA and 5 FO's who get that assignment and they can not be displaced out of base regardless of seniority.

From the looks of the bid packets though, any FO that can hold a security clearance should be able to get in it regardless of seniority at the moment.

got an e-mail to fill out the application...I'm at a terrible regional and wondering what the schedules are like here at omni...are they 7on 7off? or is it scattered with 4days or 5days? or is it like some other charter/cargo where it is 15on 5+ off with a chance of being gone for 30days straight? Thanks in advance

Typically the lines will be 18/12 or 9/6, with some minor variation. If you get last 18, then first 18 you can be out 36 days. It has happened.
4 day holdout is there, but there are restrictions as to when and how often it can be implemented.
No TDY's in place now, but that has happened. A lot of guys were pretty mad about how it went down. I was not involved, so maybe someone who was can give the details.

It can be long stretches gone, but don't forget it can be up to 25 in a row off too. Just depends. I was always doing 5 on/2 off /4 on/3 off/5 on at the regional I was at prior to this. The only way I would have ever been able to get more than 4-5 days off was vacation. So the possibility exists for both good and bad stretches. The one thing I can guarantee: you won't be doing 5 legs a day.
