I think the bottom line is that if you want banker’s hours, then you should get hired by a bank.
You need to get real with yourself about what the transportation industry is and is not. Unless you can magically generate yourself years of seniority at an airline, you’re not going to get banker’s hours or day trips only (which would be incredibly stupid anyway, if you’re driving from Temecula).
If you want to do banner towing or discovery flights or tour flights, then maybe you’ll see better hours, but the airline industry is not the droid you’re looking for.
