Odd guy Out
At the risk of rocking the boat...I flew part 91 corp for 3 years before getting on with SkyWest. My QOL is much better now (and I worked for a very good private family with 11 airplanes) and my pay is finally matched. It took a few years to catch up. Our company hardly ever has overnights less than 12 hours (usually 15 to 16) and the equipment is good. Whoever hires our flightattendents should be given a raise! I average about 16 nights at home a month and feel pretty fortunate.
Now, I'm not a cool aid drinker either! I have apps out just like everyone else and I want a better retirement plan and to get paid for what I am "worth".
The money is good with corp flying but unless your ready to server coffee, load bags, walk some old ladies dog, and sit in some FBO for 10 hours past scheduled departure, then maybe corpflying life is not for you.
Regionals are not the pilot life we imagined as kids but they can be a good place to make a living.
