Ryanair run a 5 on 3 off roster. We have many pilots who commute on their days off, and you can commute for free on company aircraft to your home.

Be warned though if can be very tiring. Finshing earlies gives you the chance to go home that day, 3 days home and then, if flights fit, possibly commuting back to work to fly lates on day 1 of work (ie possibly 3 days at home). Finishing lates means you cannot get home that day so you have to commute home on your first day off, 1 day at home then commute back on your third day off to start earlies the next day (ie 1 full day at home).
