Making the jump to Corporate from Instructing
Hi everyone,
I wanted to get a few opinions from more experienced pilots on the forum. I am currently a flight instructor around 1,000 TT and 400 multi. I have an opportunity to fly SIC part 91 in a VLJ in a couple of months for a person who only flies about 200 hours a year.
This job would provide an opportunity to make more money than I currently do which is important because we are currently expecting twins and could use the extra cash!
I really would like to get into corporate flying and think this might be a good way to get into it. However my concern is that at only 200 hours a year, I might be better off getting 800 hours of PIC time a year instructing than only 200 a year SIC. THEN with ATP minimums I could try and look for a corporate position.
I would like to just get some opinions on this. Since my ultimate goal is corporate and not the airlines, would it be best to take the job now or wait until I have more hours? This may seem like a no brainer for some but I just want to get some thoughts.
Thank you in advance!
