It was pre contract, so it was a big gumble for me, but as soon as the contract passed I realised it was the best profesional decision I'v ever made.

QOL on the road- at the airlines is better, you have a schedule
QOL at home- there is no comparison, the fractionals win. Sometimes I get home before noon on my last day. That's almost 8 days...
