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.

Reading back through old CPB threads it seems the hiring mins at one point were 750TT.
Was that accurate, or was it like it is today where you could apply at 750 but had to get to at least 1000 before taking the flight assessment?

For 17 on / 15 off, ACMI is probably the only way to get that reliably.

That new bonus would have retained a lot of people 5 years ago when we were telling Eddie Young and “Tex” Alles of a significant Pilot recruitment problem years ago. At the present, compare it to JetBlue or American and both will be making double that $$$ by the 12 year mark.
Time off? Nope not even close.
