You must do day-trips or 2-days - which is fine. Some people commute (like me) and 9 overnights a month isn't feasible. Anyway you cut it, 7/7 is almost dead even to doing a 4-day trip every week. It's just spread out differently.

With 3 weeks vacation at a regional and a a few sick calls you work about 44 weeks/year. 44 x 3 nights away is 132 nights in a hotel.

The fracs aren't for everybody just like SWA, or cargo, or heavy int'l time isn't for everybody.
