what are the odds of working for a corporate company at one airport, then being furloughed, and then being able to join another corporate team in the same airport??? im just wondering if thats even possible but im guessing it would be easy since all the other corporate teams know you in that airport?

For what its worth, I've spent a 25+year career at one airport. I trained, did the CFI thing, freight dog, SIC jet. Now I'm looking for a frac that I can base out of the same airport... of course it is the busiest general aviation airport in the country, but ya, its possible.

Not to promote another site, but if you are really interested in corporate aviation, *************.com is a good place to start networking. It's worth the $10/year, and there are a LOT more corporate/frax guys there than on these forums. (I'd say that site is for 91/135 flying that this is for 121 flying).
The big thing for anybody wanting to make the jump is to network network network. Most jobs are right place/right time or through inside connections. Just because you work for an airline doesn't mean that you can't find a way to get to know local operators...
Local safety seminars and regional/national aviation conferences are good places to start. Consider trying to attend an event like the Annual Bombardier/NBAA Safety Standown or the NBAA National Convention.

Everyone seems to be pretty happy at Netjets. It seems like you get the best of both worlds. Having that union takes away a lot of the headaches. I've been in two 91 operations the past 11 years. I am going to make a run at Netjets. A straight 91 deal can be excellent. However, the truly excellent ones are very few and far between.

With the QOL I got at NJ, I just don't see how I would ever survive at an airline, not sure if I could do that again. I guess I would if I had to, but I much rather not
