Hope that helps.

I flew fractional 20 years ago (Raytheon Travel Air, with BE400 type) before getting on with NWA just in time for the long-term post-9/11 furlough, and been flying a government desk ever since. Considering getting back in the saddle for a late career move back to flying. I really enjoyed the fractional flying, but found that schedule rough, especially with small kids at home at that time. The kids are grown now, but that 8-6 at WU sounds really tough. I assume they fly you to your plane on day one. Are they pretty good at getting you home on day 8?

Some of the jobs are in specific locations because they are managed airplane/airplanes.
