If I was making the decision, I would look at where there’s movement and turnover. Movement equals opportunities, like joining the training department, check airman etc. That’s the type of stuff majors look for in an applicant, as I’m sure you already know.

Regionals in the recent years have had a steady stream of people leaving, creating opportunities internally. If the fractional you’re considering is going to have opportunities like that, then it probably doesn’t matter that much that it’s not part 121. If you’re looking at an outfit with a bunch of lifers and no growth, probably want to look elsewhere.
