The interviewer knows that everyone wants to know the salary and benefits and they'll get to that.
Ask what your typical duties might be, what training opportunities are available, room for advancement. Ask how you might be evaluated each year, travel requirements, typical overtime. There are always relevant questions, and during an interview, I WANT you to ask a couple of questions. Then....ask about salary and benefits and probationary period.
If the first question you have for me relates to how many days you can be gone each year, You're probably not going to be seriously considered.

On second thought, sure seems fair. The employer is asking whatever they can to get the right person, why shouldn't the employee ask the only two questions that really matter?...
