P.s......there should NEVER EVER be a comparison of corparate salaries to regional or airline salaries, no matter what airplane, no matter what seat!.....
That's my whole point. If this guy is just a CFI then he's
not qualified to be flying a corporate Global. That's why I'd say he's crazy to pass up the opportunity if there's a flight department wacko enough to put him in one. If you think any CFI is gonna pass up an opportunity to jump into a large corporate jet, even if the pay is sub-par, I want some of what you're smokin'. Not saying it's right, it's just reality.
.....and I agree with your point of not comparing Regional to Corporate pay. Apples and Oranges.
