I was 91 corporate before. No more papers/ice/coffee, no more filing yourself, no more having to order catering, no more coordinating rental cars or sedan service, no more ramp fees, no more on-call 24/7, no more wiping down the leading edges, no more doing the lav, checking tires, negotiating training contracts, staffing contract pilots, company meetings, annual personal “goals” requirements, sweeping the hangar, salary surveys that never get considered, unusable vacation time, cancelling of pension plans, uncompetitive benefits, and so forth.

Bid your schedule, show up, fly, go home. Speak to nobody on your days off. Never speak to a chief pilot unless required. Use sick time without a carpet dance.

There are always things to ***** about, but this is better long term.
