As stated before, it's really apples and oranges...

In the corporate world, I like the QOL, the way I'm treated, and the atmosphere (interation with passengers, good hotels, expense account). I miss larger equipment, a wide variety of destinations, travel benefits, and a large employee group.

I'll never make the money at this job that I would at a fractional or an airline (won't really even come close). But when you compare my pay (salary) to airline pilot on a per flight hour basis (IE: Salary divided by hours flown), I top any airline pilot that I know.

I've turned down two airline opportunities to stay in the corporate world.
