It has a lot to do with that we as a company fly very little if any flying on Tue, Wed, Sat. at least out west. Then on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and Friday on many weeks and months at least with current staffing 100% of pilots in base have to work to cover all the trips and have reserve.
So take something like getting weekends off. Unless you are bidding in the top one or two in your base you have no chance.

It's an operational thing. We really only fly 3.5 - 4 days a week.

Novembers schedules are the worst I've seen. Senior guys with 8+ single day off blocks. Ridiculous.

Every month I think next month's schedule can't be worse than this month's schedule. They always find a way to make it bad. I really enjoy the random reserve days thrown in to my schedule that I didn't ask for.

I can honestly say that my November schedule is the worst in my airline career, and that includes flight instructing. 10+ yrs with G4 and max block days off...2. Wow two days off! And boy, I earned it! 
I know, preaching to the choir. It's a phrase we use at Allegiant.

Yet, we’ll still get questions on what our schedules are like.

Good problems to have. You're lucky to have a job.
