Thanks just trying to figure this out.
When you make it through SIMS and headed to IAH, private message me and I will give you all that I have for this. There are commuter hotels. There are crashpads.
The schedule is generally 4 on and 3 off. The contract requires 2 off - so that varies some. You can waive all that stuff in scheduling though to try and get specific days off in a particularly month. You can not waive Part 117, but you can sometimes take your rest at an outstation.
It took me 2 months to get a commutable line, but I commute a route with lots of flights.
