Seems like a part 91 / 135 gig in a King Air or something similar would be a happy compromise.
Doesn't look as cool on your myface page though, props n all. Gotta make sure you have the "Jet A" fuel truck in the background, and maybe don a uniform sporting 4 bars for the day, flight school style!
I don't think it's the size or type of the airplane so much as it's the ability to do what you want and go where you want with it, rather than, "cactus 329, descend via the mayer 6 arrival"...yay, I get to fly on autopilot on the exact same route again! The things that attract us to flight, the freedom, the awe of exploration, etc, just don't really exist when you do it as a job and can only do what you are told to.
