What are people's opinions on these 26 on/26 off anesthesia jobs. They seem to pay close to full time jobs but in theory allow for additional employment opportunities.

I have one, it's great. You just have to make sure the volume of emergencies is very low.
We are not a full service hospital: no ER no Ob so while i'm home call for 7 days i almost never get called. I've been called back in twince in 3 years.
My pay is significantly higher than most full time jobs.
Did i mention no OB?

A hospital without an ER. I wonder if those exist in the US.I have one, it's great. You just have to make sure the volume of emergencies is very low.

26 weeks
7 days of straight call is a long stretch tied to your phone, busy or not. Some people can deal with that, some can’t.
That model is not uncommon for folks winding down their careers. Haven't seen it much outside that niche.These jobs aren’t all in small towns. Some aren’t even what you are thinking.
I know multiple people who split an FTE and added a few weeks by doing 26 weeks. They just work 26 regular weeks and a normal amount of weekends.
Some even do 2 on and 2 off and travel to homes in great locations.
Working 80-85 hrs a week in house supervising 1:4 and then being home call for 26 weeks a year while getting paid the same as working 42-46 weeks a year at approximately ~45-55 hrs a week......is totally not worth it.My buddy does 26 on. 26 off. Lives 10 min from major international airport (non stop direct flights to France/Germany/uk/Dubai et. Facility is actually in urban area but on the outskirts. So takes him 20 min to get there
he makes 450k 1099. He’s the director. The other guy makes 425k.
So you don’t necessarily have to be in the boonies
Work is variable. 1:4 coverage 7-3/4pm. Than sit in room solo till cases end. Cases usually end 6pm. (20% call back rate). Usually if they call you back it will be 7-8-9pm. And quick appy or something quick that they are done by 10-11pm.
Still a pain to come back and do it again the next day.
weekend is all solo md. Elective cases Saturday to 3pm. Sunday is no elective cases.
so it can be like 80-85 hours of work for those 7 days easy.
no ob.
is it worth it? That’s up to people to decide.
I had another friend work in the boonies 50 min from major international airport. He finally moved his family out there. Package is 900k for 52 weeks. He splits job. So again. Around 450k for 26 weeks. Much less acuity cases at that rural hospital. Very few cases after 5pm. Very few cases on weekend. But they do have ob. Only 300-350 deliveries a year so ob very light.

One of my partners is moving to Scottsdale and working one week a month.
I would like to to do that some day soon.
