seen on a few online corporate openings. What gives? I don't think I've ever seen "corporate pilots need not apply" on airline apps.
Seems like airline types have a bad rap at corporate flight depts. Is it really that bad?
With some pilots, yes it's that bad.
What do they do that is so bad?
Get a $50k type on the company's dime then take their first recall to United, Continental, etc. Complain about how overworked they are, how they always get the crappy trips, got passed over for upgrade, etc. Refuse to stow the boss' luggage, get his car, spend xmas on the road, etc.
I flew for numerous airlines for 15 years and had to get a big break from a friend and make my bones for my company before I was able to scrape the "airline stink" off of me. Unfortunately, the small minority of ex-airline corporate pilots give the rest of us a bad name. Not fair, but that's the way it goes. I make damn sure that any of my airline relations I recommend for a position with my outfit will NOT screw the company (and me) over.
Regarding getting a type and then bailing - How is that different, from, say, a new hire at DAL that bails after a couple months and then goes to SWA or Fedex? Isn't that the cost of doing business? Yes it may be expensive but are you really going to stay at some employer just because you feel bad about the employer eating the cost? What if you're miserable and don't feel you got the right job?
