I have read my fair share of threads, so I realize the industry is a 365/24/7 industry. However I am still trying to decide if I could possibly fit into it.

I am coming to the end of my undergraduate degree and looking at grad programs, and career opportunities. I have considered law school and a few other options, but the idea of pushing paper for the next 40 years sounds like my hell.

I have been looking into and have seriously been considering the aviation industry, my only draw back is time away from home. As is many new comers, or so I have read on these forums. I am well aware it takes time and sacrifice to get any desirable career in the industry, I am just putting my feelers out to see if anyone had any advise.

I have been checking into different career paths and trying to access which could be best for my future career goals, along with family goals. From what I've read fractional airlines are sounding rather appealing to me. Especially being from the Kansas City metro area.

My main questions are

1. What does the typical monthly schedule of a fractional pilot look line?

2. What range can a factional pilot expect to make?

3. What are the typical minimums requirements most fractional's look for in new hires?

4. And if anyone has any other career path ideas within the piloting industry that puts a pilot at home more nights than away?

Any advise would be awesome
Thanks!
