Hi wes, I fly for a charter company and I have freinds in scheduled airlines and from my point of view, if you like diversety and to go many differtent places then the charter is a good place to go. Also It's true, the charter as a good portion of it's flight at night but in our company it's about 50/50. the working conditions are about the same since we both go by the same air regs. The biggest difference is on the pay check and what comes with it. All in all they are both a good place to go but as secert squirrel point out the charter is a little bit easyer to get into and to my experience the wait for a left seat on a large jet is shorter. The scheduled companies have like their name say a more stable life. Your scheduled depending on your seniority will be very predictable.
I gess it all depends on what kind life you want to lead...
Good luck
