>>2042881southwest on avg has the most days off out of all the us airlines iirc, they're continental.
international guys have large blocks of time off- so say they have like 14 in a given month, half or more of them will be in a row- at the cost of being gone for around that same amount of time aswell.
compared to southwest, jetblue, frontier, etc. where the default schedules have you home more often, or ofc you can bid for day trips if you want. then you have allegiant who gets you home pretty much every night.
that or with any airline, even regionals, you could just do as op says and bid reserve and hope you don't get called. i remember a delta guy posting about doing that, dude worked so little he joked about his neighbors wondering if he was unemployed
