Fractionals have some advantages compared to regionals, but the typical schedule is 7-on/7-off.

At most airlines you can do better than 50% home once you get some seniority, and if you have kids seven days is a long time to be gone.

Similar to major airlines, ie you'll need to work at a regional, 135, or bizav first.

Airline pilot bidding in the 30-50% seniority range (depends on airline and equipment). If you can bid locals you're home every night.
