It's a risk vs security question. I was in the same place a 15 months ago; go fly a BBJ and Challenger in the Pacific Northwest or take the offer from major. With two kids to get through college I took job at a major.
My decision was somewhat validated by a guy in my new hire class. He was a retired USAF O-5 that finished his career flying G4/5's and was hired to be the chief pilot for a major retailer that operated the same equipment. Everything was fine until a new COO showed up and wanted his guy to be the chief pilot.
I am sure the flying at a corporate department/private owner is far more interesting/dynamic, but it is hard to beat the security of strong union and well run company. Best of luck to you.
