Listen. Share.\nThinking about making the jump from fractional to the airlines—or wondering which path is right for you? In this episode, I break down my personal experience going from flying the Citation Latitude at a fractional operation to flying a 737 as a major airline pilot.\nWe cover the real pros and cons of each career path: the seven-day work weeks and FBO life of fractional flying versus the \"turn left and you're done\" simplicity of airline operations. From quality of life changes after becoming a parent to the grind of short-call reserve, I try to give an honest, no-holds-barred comparison of both worlds.\nWhether you're chasing Garmin avionics and owner interactions or looking for longer overnights and schedule predictability, this episode will help you understand what to expect from each side of the professional pilot world.\nTopics covered:\nQuality of life: 7 on 7 off vs. airline scheduling\nCustomer service and crew dynamics\nThe reality of short-call reserve\nMaking the decision that's right for your family","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/s8a-VNhA3KT8ziTM9GEoglQYN8nsFNC-InL8Qj1FlcM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80OWFm/YzIzMjA3N2UwMGRj/MmFlY2YzNTNlOGJj/N2RlZC5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
