Default Corporate Guy Needs Career Move Advice

Hey Guys, I'm hoping you can offer some advice. Here's my situation... Currently I fly a Citation Bravo, part 91 for a small company. We fly an average of 10 days/month and have an average of 2 overnights/month. The pay is 35k per year plus a Chistmas bonus. We fly 250-300 hours per year. I am logging Jet PIC.

So here's my dilemma, I have aspirations of one day working for Fed Ex or some other Major. I know that I'm not flying enough hours/year and I'd like to bring home a better paycheck. What is your opinion on my next move?

I've been persuing the fractionals, but I have low time and haven't had a callback yet. 2100TT 1300MEL 1100PIC 1200Turbine 300JetPIC. Should I
A. spend time in the fractionals then try to make the jump or B. should I apply to a regional (Comair) take a pay cut and try to go from there or C. should I just be content with what I am doing and expect that I can make the jump from the company I am with now.

I realize that by leaving where I am will require more hours on the road and a lot more flying. And I realize that I will have to spend some years working my way up. I'm ok with that, I am 27 and willing to work hard. But what will best qualify me for the future I hope to persue?

I would appreciate your honest opinions. Thanks in advance!
