You have to be more senior to get all weekends off. If you're junior you'll probably get one a month on average.
The spouse does need some degree of independence, but I assume we're all (ex) mil here so that should be nothing new.
When you're home, you're home. Plenty of time with the fam, I'm home on weekdays a lot so I volunteer at my kid's school so I get to hang out with them.
Correction, reading comprehension failure on my part. I thought he said 17-15 days off.
For 17 on / 15 off, ACMI is probably the only way to get that reliably.
