I found no corporate guy who wanted the workload. I found airline pilots applying for it but the boss didn’t want another airline pilot like myself because we would run off to delta. So we found a fired fractional guy and I think that went so poorly that the boss just gave the jet over to the part 135 company a year after I left.

The truth is, cliches are bs. Take one person at a time. And retire in peace or fly contract. But you might be happier driving Uber
