Also, what is the corporate hiring environment like right now? Thanks.

Some will, some won’t, just like FDX got burned by guys going back to passenger lines after 2001 furloughs. Hiring is still pretty spotty, dependent on prior corporate experience, tyoe ratings. There are tons of contract corporate pilots, current and qualified, so opportunities might be sparse. Former corporate chief pilot, retired here, but in touch with the industry thru friends, NBAA.
As always, it’s about networking, inside contacts.
