As far as fun goes, I have done both airline and corporate, that said Corporate is MUCH more fun. You don't fly routes/bids/gates/seasons. Corporate you go to far out of the way places, Aspen, Palm Beach, Europe, Africa. You get to see a different way of life. Granted flying corporate you would never be able to afford to go to these places by yourself. (Nice to have someone else pick up the tab), The family aspect of it stinks. Your wife/husband needs to be very understanding. Things change/planes break/ you miss bithdays/soccer games/date night.....all that is hard on a marriage. But if you find the right partner (I did) it makes the job much easier.

Remember how much fun it was to drive when you turned 16? Not so much fun anymore is it?...LOL just one way to look at it.
