HIghly unlikely. Such a line would go very senior. I think you would have to find another way.

I know someone who has a similar schedule. Not sure if its a full 2 weeks off though. He's not with a regional, he flies corporate, so you may have to go a bit outside the box on this one.

Look up some of the companies in Alaksa, lots have 2 on 2 off schedules. I know of atleast one guy that commutes from Kentucky to Bethel, AK.

Some of the global contract cargo companies typically have schedules like 3 on / 2 off, but when you're gone with those guys...you're GONE. You would need to work at a regional first anyway to qualify for that sort of job.
