"it sounds like pretty much everyone on this board wants to go the airline route, any corporate aspirants out there?"
I think you are refering to gemini flights, where you get the opportunity to ride in the back seat and go on an orientation flight, can some current please confirm.?
And yes, I would love, to get the chance to fly at the right seat of a corparate jet, most of the current fractional ownership companies like NetJets and a few others, provide a great employment situation with a decent salary and benefits. This is a great alternative to the standard route of regional, national and major. But the other side of the coin is they require at least 2500 plus TT, some just ask for 1500 TT, also your customer support skills have to be top notch considering that your with the clients almost 24/7. The profile I read on EJA indicated that, the pilots are required to do thier sim checkrides at least twice a year, and physicals as well. They have to be available to go on short notice, basicaly to the needs of the customer, I would love to work for Warren Buffet,
and look at the hardware that you get to play with
Citation X's, Encore's, Challenger's, Gulfstream VI's, ect well enough of my day dreaming, my day will come.
