I'm in the same situation as AA717driver. Too old for commuters. Been there done that anyway.
FlyExclusive offered me a job, F/O on a Citation with probable upgrade in six months. FlyAlliance offered captain on the G-IV from day one. I'm not typed in either. I can do two years there. At that point I'll re-evaluate what to do next before signing another contract. A lot can change in two years anyway.
For me, home based with longer blocks of time off is important. I'd actually prefer a 15/13 schedule to the 12/10 on the G-IV at FlyAlliance. If FlyExclusive had offered G-IV it would have been a more difficult decision. If they had offered captain on the G-IV I'd have taken that for sure. I turned down several 8/6 schedule jobs. The G-IV has an F/A on every leg and that is a plus. To each his own. There are obviously enough of us that prefer what this operation is offering to keep their operation staffed. There are no perfect jobs. Every career decision involves compromises.

I got an offer from FE back in the summer. I can’t say enough good about 727DRVR, Chase and another recruiter I talked to. They are all straight shooters and really appreciate and value their help. I was in the process of getting a wedding planned and had a couple other offers on the table so I passed.

[QUOTE=got2fly;3544049]8/6 schedule on the Hawker 800
12/10 on the G-IV
15/13 on the Global Express.
Pay depends on the airplane and I don't know much about it, except that G-IV captain is $155,000 to start.[/QUOTE
$155 to start on a G-IV is paupers pay. And on that schedule. Sad.
