How does Year 2 pay at the legacy compare to the F100 gig?
What about retirement & benefits? Is the corporation historically profitable and in a secure industry, relatively safe from M&A activity? What is the flight department's history?
What kind of seniority advancement/progression are you projected to have at your legacy?
The airline job is almost certain to be more lucrative and secure long-term, but some people are just better suited for bizav and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that...
