Is there a certain pilot job (corporate, fractional, airline, etc.) that offers a schedule that is more desirable than others?
Thats easy to answer. What job is hardest/most competitive to get? That is the consensus answer to your question. It doesn’t mean there aren’t other good jobs out there. Historically speaking that has been at the legacy carriers. Due to the impact of deregulation and the last 20 years of black swans, LCCs and ULCCs have become attractive to many. For others flying boxes has become very attractive.
Of course, if you want the most fun flying go military aviation. It only costs giving up complete control of your life to Uncle Sam.
