I was in the same situation. I lived 3 hours away when I got hired at EAS. I'm married with three kids. We decided to sacrifice and stay apart for the first few months until school was out for the summer. I stayed with family during my 12 days on and went home for my 3 off. In my opinion, EAS is worth it. I've been around the 91 and 135 block a bit and can say that I've never worked for a better company, top to bottom. Management cares about everyone, an absolutely great pilot group. I haven't met another pilot that I didn't enjoy flying with. Of course, I haven't flown with RI380 yet
All kidding aside, QOL is very good for me. Lots of nights at home, good equipment, great people.
