You think the fact that he's a 121 background means that he should start corporate life in a Kingair?!? Are you mentally disabled ? Let's see now....I bought a 737 for my business or family use....We're obviously not going to be using very small airports in uber-remote areas....So, should I hire a guy with thousands of hours in type or, should I hire a guy whose been flying a Citation/Lear/Hawker etc.... just because he's been in the corporate flying world? And by the way, most "1 week, 15 stop" trips are planned with a little help from a company like Universal or ARINC. You've been doing this how long? And this is the attitude you have? I bet you're a peach to live with on those trips.
I have been flying corporate since the late 80's which means I have been through this cycle enough times to know what's coming. A flood of 121 guys willing to due anything for a corp gig while sitting on a furlough # and giving DO's and CP's the idea we will do anything for a job. After we take a QOL a$$ kicking the 121 flood gates open and now we have an empty pilot room and even worse QOL. Those who were in it for Corp all along struggle to regain QOL just in time for the next big Furlough. I showed him respect for the butt whipping he's taken at USair but show Corp some respect as well. I have placed dozens of my 121 friends in corp gigs in the 90's and early 00's and guess where they All are now UPS, NWA, UAL, DAL, CAL, AWA, ect.ect.ect... Guess how many emails I'm getting recently? I will help them again but I know what's coming. I have what I consider the best Corp gig out there and I am a blast on the road but those who ignore the past are destined to repeat it. Corp is a career path, not a safety net or escape path! APC and FI should have an independant forum, 121 to 91, so we can go back to rating FBO hotties in Corp!
I don't care if someone on a computer thinks I'm a tool. If I multiply my overnite's by my bar tab I may mathmaticaly be your father and you would have every right to dislike me.
