Previous corporate:

New Captain hires his wife as the cabin attendant, when they go to an overnight they dump the FO (who is really the only person in charge and knows what's going on) and they take the rental car for the entire time they're there.

Same guy, boss says he wants to leave at 2. He and his wife show up at... 2. Boss showed up earlier.

Same guy, charter company will provide crew meals if asked. Decent corporate crew meal stuff, but really a nice sandwich box. He orders filet Mignon, ****ed when they don't deliver it.

Different guy, teaching spoon fed ground school at corporate charter operation. Asks airline pilot turned corporate pilot, when do you not have to have a destination alternate? Pilot answers, well, 1-2-3 rule and gets interrupted. "Welcome to the big boys kid, we don't use the 1-2-3 rule," says salty know it all.

They didn't there, tis true, but Delta uses the 1-2-3 rule for IFR/NO ALTN required on domestic flight ops and I would consider it to be a "big boy."
