I was bored enough that I wondered in here from the regionals forum. I started out in corporate and went airline, worked for a good outfit and briefly for a shady one. Reading this thread just reaffirms for me why I prefer the airlines. Having a hard schedule and showing up and flying my trip and going home afterwards are not negatives for me. Sure it gets a little boring after a while but I like the relative stability of the airlines. Now before you jump all over me let me say I have friends in the corporate world and they seem to change jobs every 1-3 years on average and one high time buddy with several types who hasn't had a flying job in over a year since the downturn. The grass isn't greener, it's just different. More like different flavors of ice cream, the airlines might be vanilla but some people like vanilla.
