Excellent points

The bottom line is the fractionals are NOT entry level jobs, so why should the pay be entry level. The pay is not comensurate with the average experience level read 5000tt (not the mins of 2500) of thier new hires. I use 5000tt subjectively because most everone I know who was hired by a fractional was at that level or hire. They were experienced pilots with alot of skill and experience. I hope for them and the industry that the pay gets on par with operations such as the one I work for.
Quality of life is also important but most of the fractionals are as bad if not worse than the airline schedules. I could not continuoulsy go to work for 7 straight days each time I left the house for work. I don't care if I get the next 7 off its not a life style I would care for, if I was going to do that I would aim for the majors and justify it by the larger paycheck.
You know once we fix this problem, and the regional we will have to start to fix the 135 and cheap 91 operators.
