Days off depends entirely on your fleet. On the 777, I never have had just eight days off, it is always more; Sometimes 15, especially if you do ULR flying. Can even get 7 off in a row near the top bid months, Airbus guys fair less well and can often only get 8 off in a month as far as I am aware. Middle management? Shocking……
Pay is ok, but not keeping up with inflation. Roster stability generally very good as an F/O on the triple.
