Thanks guys (and gals) for the responses so far. Definitely some good questions for me to consider. To answer some of the questions asked so far, they currently own a light jet and have had it for about four years. It's owned by one of the boss's companies. They are upgrading to a midsize jet and needing an additional (2nd pilot). It seems that about 50% are day trips with the other half staying on the road. Ya'll hit the nail on the head with the most important question, ultimate end goal. My end goal is to be able to have an income sufficient enough to provide for my family and to have a good QOL where I can "be around" for them. If I stay in the 121 then going to the majors or LCC is a no brainer as it can (with enough seniority) provide the lifestyle I want to have. I also like most aspects of 121 flying. That being said, I do have some experience flying 91/135 at a not so great outfit that has given me a glimpse of the good/bad of flying corporate. My major concern, which you have hit on, is if or when this gig goes belly up or if my only option for realistic career advancement is to switch back to the 121 world, will I have shot myself in the foot by spending xx amount of time at this outfit? I assume how desperate airlines are for pilots at that time will be a major factor on whether I can get on somewhere other than at the bottom of a seniority list at a regional. Thanks again for responees, it's nice having another perspective other than my own.
Have you ever considered a fractional? I left a regional and came to XOJET. Home based and there are plenty of guys/girls leaving here for Legacies and LCC's.
