I’m not sure if the timeline is misleading. It makes it sound like you can fly corporate with one of the partners straight out of flight school with very low time. I don’t mind flying a challenger or a citation and bypass the CFI route but it sounds too good to be true.
It specifically says “decide on flight experience pathway: CFI or Corporate”.
CFI and THEN corporate would sound more realistic.

Working out of a nice FBO, NO TSA, no airport bus terminals. Good catering, layovers in places like Aspen instead of Buffalo. Its night and day.
Of course you have to deal with the Biebers of the world smoking dope in your jet, but its better than the average regional customer.
