Yes and no. Our corporate guys that went to CRJ training for the CL65 rating hated it . It was an airline school, so they got dinged repeatedly for not requesting the push clearance, going thru the procedure and the very specific radio and crew callouts. “We DON’T push never did get through to the instructors”. That and dozens of very specific procedures we just didn’t do or weren’t so anal about the exact words. The two areas operate very differently. Airlines are much more rigid and watched, no one ventures far and everything is meticulously run. Corporates, it was common to only find out about to 10-day thru 10 African countries two days in advance. And, just everything is your baby.
That said, I’ve flown with Global pilots from dozens of operators and 5 or 6 countries, never a serious CRM or standardization issue, just did like the school house. Gulfstream guys less so, especially guys that had flown the plane since the G II.
It has probably changed over the years. EAL, even before the Lorenzo days, was pretty relaxed.
