You don't want to fly for Vulcan. My old man works there (not a pilot) and when he's riding on the 757 for biz he chats up the pilots (since it's what I fly). They are paid handsomely but are definitely wearing the 'golden handcuffs' that come with the higher paying 91 corporate aviation jobs. Translation: treated like crap but paid well. Then again, it could be 121 like me where I am treated well but paid crap. It's a tightly knit group of pilots, all with lots of gray hair. I would agree with the earlier postings, corp. aviation is not flourishing in the SEA area like it is in other metros. Unfortunately, you may have to head south. The best advice is start knocking on office doors at the airport. I know of several people that found their needle in a haystack that way. Good luck.
