Default Min days off at your airline

I am looking for the minimum days off info for the airlines. I see one of the co-founders of APC asked this several years ago, but I cannot find this info. Am I not looking in the right area, was it never posted, or is it gone?

My specific questions:
1. What are your airline's minimum days off while on reserve?
2. What are your airline's minimum days off as a line holder?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

FDX reporting in:

We use 4 week months (28 days) and 5 week months (35 days) for bidding

Min days off 4 week month = 13
Min days off 5 week month = 16

Same for reserve and for line holder.

Frontier:

Minimum of 12 days off per bid period for line holder and reserve.

We have 12 bid periods per year, but they don't always coincide perfectly with a calendar month. I.e., the Company usually balances shorter months by robbing a day from the prior month and the following month.
