Yeah, having been in 2 121 carriers (one regional, one major), and now being corporate... it is *way* better flying the "little guys" around rather than the big stuff.

Find the right job= more pay, more time off, easier schedules...

Finding the right job is key.

I would never say never though (to going back to 121)

At the risk of being "that guy"....did it ever occur to you or your father that a corporate operator wouldn't want to hire an (evidently) career airline guy who would HAVE to be rather up in age given his flight time, and the whole "no time in type" is a polite way of turning him away?

The fragile airline ego certainly couldn't handle that!

I mean, with 8 million hours as the Admiral on a part 121 747 airliner flying a little old corporate jet around is nothing!

A monkey can fly an airplane, hours dont really matter.

I used to love the conversations years ago at my local airport:

Me: "Hey, how do you like flying the Citation?"
Other guy: "Great..!! It's like flying a big 182."
Me: "I can fly a 182."
Other guy: "yeah, well, umm....well..."
