It obviously feels a less like your herding cattle and being hawked for every move you make.
Those guys at NetJets are making 100k which is far less than UA, but everything isn’t just about the money.
That's a whole lotta "attaboys" required! After corporate vs 121, if the stress at 121 is eating you up, your doing it wrong. Do your job, help others do theirs but at the end of the day, it is what it is.
