You would be surprised at just how challenging some corp jobs are. When you put them both on the table corp flying has a lot more in common than mil flying does when it pertains to an airline. On the same note the challenges are different and while some corp pilots will most likely not see (except for those of us that have flown in Africa and certain other areas) trust me it can be extremely challenging and we are not just talking about the flying side either
