hi,
I am a very junior airbus f/o. I manage about 12 clear days off a month. roughly 3/4 days off at beginning and end of each month, working 5/6 day blocks during the month. These are all 2/3/4 day tours, usually earlies. The sixth day is a shocker! I have one day trip this month, one next month.
hope this helps.

edited to add:
weekends? No. I have one clear weekend off in this/next month (which i actually bid for - couldn't believe it) Mostly its not a full weekend away, but a tour ending on sat, or starting sunday etc.
