That's a job available in remote areas like Alaska or fire-fighting in the west...usually you would be operating larger prop planes (DC-3/4/6 or other radial engine maybe) that are maintenance intensive. They like one or both pilots to be A&Ps so that they can take care of mx issues at remote outstations. Would probably be fun, but the flying is riskier.
It's something I would enjoy, but moving the family to a place like that is not feasible for most folks (including me).
