Just a word of warning, at QR nothing is a given - you can bid for days off and it isn't un-heard of to get 6 or 8 days off (some guys I know are getting them but it has taken 3 months of bidding for it to finally get it) in a row BUT you are purely in the hands of the rostering gods, the rosters here even though you bid for blocks of days off might come back with 3 days 3stbys and 2 days tagged on the end, which, if your trying to get back to somewhere in the region of 6 hour flight times won't work.
It is fleet dependant it seems too, the 777 fleet seems to be the one where its most achievable, 330 and 320 are under crewed especially for FO's!
At the end of the day, what you sign up for certainly isn't a 'commuting contract'.
