Planesense is the best QOL you can expect out of a PC-12 operator but in this economy it makes no sense to stay past ATP mins. If you want to go corporate, get your time, get your multi ATP and some jet time, prefably upgrade and get your 1,000 PIC, then go fly a gulfstream or a challenger or something real for XoJet or Flexjet or NetJets.
Sure that's your point of view. There are some who has been there and done it already then you choose what's the best fit for your life . Corporate is probably economically the safest place if something happens. Airline pilots historically suffer first . Money? Well someone who is loaded with bills better work for Wall Street then a pilot .. and btw if you really want money then fly hard to get job ,, fire fighting ,, 6 months off 6 on .. VFR only, low level flying , great risk but 350k ( top pay ) . For some 135k PC12 job is just perfect
