They probably weren't XJT pilots. The QOL depends on what you are looking for. You are home based. The company will buy you a ticket to where ever they need you. You only get 14 days off and no set schedule. So you are on call, but with the home base it isn't like a two hour call and get to an airport. The pay is good. You will not fly very much. Lots of sitting around in hotels. So it depends if that is what you like.

I'm sure most of the time it is better than flying a line.
