As far as that making it "commutable," that's up for debate. You'll be based in one of their outstations in PA or AR. It's out-and-backs, so the plane is parked at the small town out station every night. So to commute in by air, you have to fly to either PIT or DFW or BWI on an airline, then hop on one of their flights out to your base because they're the only ones flying into their outstations. It can work, but I just drove (6 hours) because it was faster that way.
It was a great job, I enjoyed it as a time builder! Typical headaches that come from a small company, but they're generally quite fair and easy to work with. Usually logged 70-90 hours a month working 13-15 days. Usually 4-5 on, 3-4 off.
