My wife enjoys being with me and has, on several occasions gone with me on an overnight. She gets special treatment by the FAs on the flight, goes out to a nice dinner with me, and stays in a hotel which for her is like a mini vacation. Mind you, I bid weekends off and she works a M-F so it rarely happens but sometimes she does. Maybe not PIA but others, yes.
QOL is pretty good. 4 years at my airline, I intentionally bid reserve due to my seniority and our work rules. Spend just about every day at home (maybe not every night). Fly far less than a hard line and see my wife a lot more. Biggest determining factor for my QOL? Living in base and not commuting.
