Line Pilot's Working Week

Hi all.

Okay, lets assume nice shiney new F/O joins a "typical" lo-cost short-haul airline in the UK. He has approx 350hrs and fATPL i.e bottom on the ladder.

How much spare time per week is he likely to see every week ? thats actually time at home, not driving to airport etc etc...

Compare to desk flyer working 12hrs per day inc. communting (2hrs day).
Who gets the most time to play with his kids and pursue interests?

Whilst we're at it - how "stressful" is the job?

Opinions from experience gratefully received!

Thanks very much,
