Definitely possible to through bid lines once you have the seniority to do so. On average this seems to happen after around 6-12 months. With seniority, you can consistently hold 17/14 bid lines. It is a commuting contract - within continental US. Beyond that, it's up to you. Very doable from the Europe, Asia and the East Coast of Aus. Bit harder to WA, but also doable. May just cost you an extra day either way.
As mention, the FB group is a great place to start, with sample rosters, bid lines, bases and pay estimates.
