Been here 3.5 years and in the Praetor now. No desire to ever change aircraft unless they let me fly the new G. 😄
AIrline crews get the random full security but often just use KCM. On w/b's you do the full security drill overseas. It's worth the w/b lifestyle for the occasional hassle. Working as a pilot is a different experience than being a passenger in a big terminal. You're sitting back in coach, the pilots are in a cockpit (except the 737) that has stand up heading room. Getting stiff? Just stand up and do some stretches.
Part 121 is a vastly easier job. With a 3 man crew you can walk up to a cold dark airplane and fly anywhere in the world in 30 minutes. Sometimes 20 minutes if thinks click well.
