Had a good friend with his *dream* part 91 job. Flying a great airplane around the world for a great client. Pay was amazing.

The client's wife lost her passport in Austria, and when landing back in the states, they got delayed by Immigration because she didn't have her passport. She said that she had given it to the pilot and it must be his fault (which was not true). All of the pilots got fired and they were all replaced with more "dependable" pilots. Have heard similar stories about pilots getting fired because they had a bird strike on final causing damage to the airplane.

That is the reality of being a corporate pilot. You are completely expendable.
