Exactly. Sorry for the confusion, I thought being blunt was the best approach. I'll try again, since he didn't seem to get it and must not have flown corporate before. I'm sure most guys know EXACTLY what I mean by my golden handcuffs reference. It's always easier to swallow a job where the owner treats you like garbage when there's a fat paycheck rolling in each month. The referenced company (Vulcan) is obviously not going to run out of funds anytime soon, but would be extremely hard to get into. The owner is best described as whimsical, and that's never a good thing when your career is tied up with that. Like I said, my Dad works there and has ridden on the planes several times for business trips - and insisted I stay where I am (CAL) rather than set me up with flight ops over there. I trust the man, but again that's just someone's opinion. Per my earlier posting, just head down there and catch a pilot in the parking lot and get the scoop from them. Things do change.
On a side note - I just heard about a 91/some 135 LR-60 gig opening up working for a real jackass (I worked there for 2 years) out of TEB next month. There won't be job postings for it, so if someone is interested I'll post where to send your resume in a few weeks, though I wouldn't wish the job on my worst enemy. A good job if you only care about money though. Cheers all!
