Flying for a major airline vs. a fractional is not the comparison the original poster was asking about. With a little seniority at any of the LCC's or Majors there really isn't much of a comparison which one would be better in my opinion. How about the thought process of jumping from a regional to get better pay and schedules at Flexjet to build time in and then apply to a major from there. I understand that the faster route is probably staying at the regional but for someone that cant afford $60K a year for the next few years is moving to a fractional a viable option for building time to get to a LCC or major airline?
