121to FJ
I was in the pool at UPS, but they never called. i just did a phone interview with you guys. I have 10yrs ATC, 5yrs at a regional, and 2yrs on the 320 in the left seat. My question is: Are you all happy? How is retirement? Should I consider FJ or a major?

Unless you're at Spirit, I'm not sure of a really compelling reason why someone would leave the left seat of an Airbus to go to a fractional.
To answer, should you go to a legacy, I say yes. Not sure if it's quite that easy these days, but that's a discussion for a different thread.

regarding which one is better (frax or legacy), no one leaves a legacy to go frax (raw data).

ummmmm no. Phenom upgrade is up to about 10-12 months. Praetor/Challenger is looking like it’s going to be 3+ years. $150+ is accurate.
