I don't think I'd be able to tolerate working seven days per week, 30 days/month for the six months of work. I manage money for pension funds, and although some managers do tend to churn too much, things could really go to hell with six months of complete inattention. Also, by the time I went back after six months off I would be hopelessly out of touch with the markets, unless I kept up on my own time, which would effectively negate the six months off part of this. This wouldn't work for me.
This scheme would also run afoul of wage/hour laws, although exempt self-employed persons could maybe make it work.
My dad owns a hardware store with about a dozen employees who can work a staggered five day week. This week M-F, next week Tue-Sat, third week M-F, etc. This results in alternating three day weekends with one day weekend and most employees choose this schedule.
