I usually have the best luck in requesting all of my days off together, and let crew scheduling fit you in where possible. I would rather have 12 days off in a row(DC-9), and just commute once every 28 days. You are on duty for a min of 16 days, but you wont fly every day, and will get plenty of breaks in that period(1 in 7's, and such). I will say that they work with you at USA Jet in the scheduling department, even as a new hire. In my first 6 months I was given days off requested for a bachelor party, My wedding including 10 days after, as well as 10 days off for the birth of my child. Not too sure I would have had a chance for any of that with many other carriers.
