Paper. But if this is even remotely one of your concerns when picking an airline you need to reevaluate some things.

I can only speak for CLT and yes the majority are 4 day trips. Exceptions to that tend to be the beginning and end of each month as well as all the stand up overnights then occasional 2 and 3 day trips here and there.

Do you usually wind up back at your base at the end of the day or is there a lot of overnights?

Does the SAP allow a junior guy to bid back to back trips and then have a longer stretch of days off? For example...6 or 7 days on followed by 5 or 6 off?

You only can sap if you are a round one line holder so no not really. Once you are senior enough to hold a round one then you can compete with every other round one line holder during sap for anything that is available in open time. 121 regs do not allow you to work 7 days in a row without time off but 6 in a row is doable. Also you could work half the month by doing 4 on 1 off 4 on 1 off 4 on if you can get the three 4 days to exceed 65 hrs.
