I am a regional captain wanting to get back to corporate flying for a number of reasons; mainly I don't like the airline lifestyle, i.e. time away from home. (I briefly flew corporate when I was low time before being hired at the airlines.) I have tried for the last couple of years to get back into the corporate side of things, but having an "airline" resume is killing me. I had one DO say that the reason he didn't hire me is he thought I would go back to the airlines when/if things turn around. I swore up and down that I wouldn't but he ultimately passed on me, I am sure, because of my airline background. For the record, I am at a very stable regional/major, and that is not the case.
I have an opportunity to fly in a 91 environment for substantially lower pay than I am making now, like 60-70% less. It is an entry-level position. I don't even know if I could live on it, but I could maybe make it work. I do believe however that, 1. there is the possibility of making more as I move up in this company, and 2. that it would greatly improve my chances of being picked up by a higher paying, more long-term 91 gig.
I respect the advice/opinions of all of you guys who have been there done that on this board. Any and all thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
