Almost there
I’m about ready to throw my hat in the ring. I’m at 1300 TT, 940 ME, 850 Turbine. I’ve been flying corporate Part 91 since for about four years. I’m trying to determine the best path and the best fit for this 50 year old late starter. I reside in Houston. There is so much information and changes going on in the industry. My head is spinning. I know several people at several different carriers and it’s still hard to decide even with insider information. I like flying 91, but the money and benefits are just not up to par with what the 121 world is offering these days. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

At 50 it’s not easy to pass regional check rides with crew concept
