Region,
I think you are asking all the questions that you do not want the truthful answers to. Now it all depends on where you are working now to make this CX Freighter a better deal. To enlighten you I hope a Freighter pilot will respond to your questions. But it is something like this:
on the Pax fleet based in the USA,
9 days off MIN
Retirment is 15% of income. You invest it monthly, you decide where to put it. ( it is all up to you and your financial planner ) ( but you pay tax on that money too)
700 hours per year
No credit for Duty travel and Reserve is credited at 1 for 5 hours
ANC, The guys I know are staying there 6 months, but that base transfer is all seniority dependent.
Hope this helps
REGARDS
