A lot of great input on this. Thanks. It looks like we'll be asked to operate THREE different types of jet aircraft now That puts another plus in the legacy's column. We've done this before here, and I would much rather be proficient in one type than try to juggle multiple. Two of the type ratings that I would need are scheduled within a couple months of each other

I've spent many years at both types of flying and although I realize that there are some corporate jobs that are good, I never had a corporate gig that I could have considered as a career....!
Just the fact that I can "disconnect" from work really does it for me, I was never truly off while flying corporate.
Corporate flying has been good to me though, specially in downturns of the airline industry, I always found refuge from the rug being pulled from under my feet starting back in 91 when I lost my first "Last Job In Aviation" and I've been blessed to have never been unemployed for a period of time that I didn't want to..., so I don't want to sound as if I have something personal against corporate flying because it is not the case.
I just find that the better QOL in terms of roster stability and the ability to get specific important family dates off is in airline flying.
