even for pre-boomers and why not? Work is fun.

Bingo! I'm 44 and already stressing a bit about retiring. Why would I ever want to stop doing this? Fractional flying is a great time!

Guess I'll just be in the next group of 70 year-olds that the pimple-faced bunch is b!tching about in these threads.
 
Its already like being retired. You work 26 weeks a year. But you have 4 weeks vacation, 2 weeks you can be sick. So thats only 20 weeks you have to work. 2 weeks you train. Now you are only on the road 18 weeks.

But 36 days of those 18 weeks you are airlining. That's 5 weeks ... so all together you are working 13 weeks a year where you can fly.

You average 5 hours a so in the air each of those days and there you get your 450 to 550 hours you fly every year.

Yes, it was. But retirement is funner. :D
But I tried it; it is boring. All I did was hang around airports, and not get paid for it.

Its true! Fractional flying is a lot of fun. Getting paid to fly with friends, eat good food, and see the world.
