While I know people make great lifelong careers at Spirit, I just wonder if quality of life at a home-based fractional would be better than commuting for at least a couple years?
I worked 135/91 for years before going to a regional. I commuted from dfw to nyc at the regional, and my quality of life was infinitely better than that lifestyle, once I got a little seniority. It’s nice to show up and fly the airplane and not deal with FBOs, rental cars, catering, etc. Fractionals fly a ton of legs and are really efficient. I mainly do 1 or 2 leg days here at spirit. No brainer for me.
