spanners,
CDG is a -400 base.
Fantomen, you are guaranteed 10 days off a month. Just like the rest of us. some months are good some are bad - meaning some months you get more days off. This is the same for each base. It really doesn't matter where you're based
you will fly from Europe to Asia. Some trips take 3 days some take 10 - there is no stead fast rule for any base. Just decide where you want to live and take whatever is nearest.
It's about lifestyle away from CX that matters not your life while you are on their clock because you have no control of that.
