The real question shouldn't really be Lakes or FLX it should be what career path do you want to take? What is your ultimate goal with this oh so glamorous career of being a pilot? Do you want to sit in a aircraft with a heavy call sign on your way to Heathrow or look down from FL500 in your Gulfstream at all the airliners you’re passing on your way to Tokyo? Once you answer this question you'll know where to go. Corporate tends to hire corporate because the risk of the person jumping to 121 is far less due to QOL and Pay. I do agree there are a whole bunch of apples with shiny exteriors (SIC Time) but turbine is turbine! I posed this question to a former captain who was on the hiring board of one of your beloved regional’s and the guy with the turbine would be his choice.


P.S. Boxes can't talk and ever aircraft after the 210 with a few exceptions will be dual piloted, learning CRM now with LAKES will benefit you in the future.
