My experience was no you won't. From the time I left Adelaide until line training began the longest I had off was 3 days. The first real stretch of time off I had was after my first 2 sectors which was just over 3 months after arriving in Adelaide. As for your second question the company provides free of charge very high priority tickets for your family to come over. However if you want to go and get them you will have to apply to your fleet manager for approval to get an ID 90 to fly over and back.
