What can you bid in the system : flights, days off, everything ?
And do you have any idea on how many FOs they need for the Dash fleet ? It might be quite low... Is there a pool ?
Forget it, it will not work, 2 days off will give you less than 24 hours at home if you are not living in one of the cities they fly to, know someone who tried it and failed with the attempt to have a family life. New job offers say you have to relocate in any case.
