Welcome! I suggested that this forum be opened and I am glad that you found it! Corporate gigs vary so much. From gravy to gravel. I got gravel with a little gravy for lube. I used to fly 135 and thought it was bad, but honestly, any company can treat you well or mistreat you and the 135 op I worked for was a god one and respected the pilots and gave them fair wages. It's kind of a crap shoot. At least with airlines, you sort of know what you're getting. Most 135 ops are similar as well...but that is totally not true about corporate. You really take your chances. Also, there are other factors, owner pilots are the worst, flight instruction of company personnel (like I do in a Caravan), you can't pass the buck so you better be ready to be seriously responsible and really on top of things and very well organized or you will get eaten and spit out and end up flying a C210 on night freight. Fuel prices make the job harder to do and harder to keep, so be ready to deal with contract fuelers and haggle with FBOs for every penny. Flying is 5% of the job (*said as I sit here in FXE and try to get a major maintenance completed in a timely manner with no ****** ups, then get the thing to paint and interior and do it around company schedules) The good things about the job are the higher pay (see above and you won't wonder why) the faster advancement typically, the more relaxed environ if you are self-paced, motivated, relatively efficient and still have a few brain cells.

There are goods and bads for me, but I think I want to go back 135. On call work seems to be fine with me.

I fly a Sabreliner and a Caravan in the Philly area, if I can help any of you guys out, drop me a PM and let me know. I don't need pilots, but sometimes I know who does!

Take care!
