As others have said, there really is no typical day. Some tours you'll work 14 hrs each day and have 10 hrs of rest. Others, you'll spend 4 days in a row in the hotel.

Get into the mindset that they own you from midnight on day 1 to midnight of your last day. After you finish for the day, you'll get briefed for your next days assignment to go from point A to point B only to have your schedule change while you're in rest. When you check your schedule the following day after your rest period, it looks nothing like it did when you went to bed. It isn't uncommon for it to change between flights. You'll land expecting to ferry to HPN, only to find out you're now going somewhere else. If you're the type that needs to know what he's doing well in advance, fractional life isn't for you. And that's OK. Everyone doesn't have to like the same thing.

I don't know what you're background is, but I came from the 121 world and will never go back after being here. You'll work hard, but you're treated very well overall. You'll visit some very interesting places and meet many interesting people.

In a nutshell, lifestyle and QOL are very good here, IMHO.
