I also know quite a few that started out from their PPL days to corporate and are quite happy at unicorn jobs. The early 2000s were a bad time to start and corporate looked as good as any direction. They’re now on Globals/Gulfstreams having been employed without a break. Lots of openings now, even unicorn jobs, but it’s still an outlier compared to 121–everyone is different, very much a networking deal. Commuting is becoming common. A friend just started a new G6500 and G7500 position, all commuting and expenses paid—fly to the jet. But, she’s also highly experienced.
