Thread hijack alert...

I'm afraid that the downward pressure on pay we've been witnessing in the airlines is pressing down on our end of the business. Airline types (scumbags that they are... ) are trying to migrate to corporate. Corporate/Charter operators know this and are adjusting starting pay accordingly. JMO.

Sorry about the hijack.TC

Now that I think about it, I honestly don't remember when the last time I even spoke to a genuine part 91 corporate co-pilot. I guess that they exist, but in the 25 years that I've been going to FlightSafety (twice a year) I can count on one hand the number of guys that fell into that category and they usually don't stay in that category very long - unlike the union seniority-driven situations that many of the fractional pilots have to deal with or the expense limiting considerations that drive the compensation policies of charter companies.

They do exist... I´m one. Genuine part 91 co-pilot. I realize there aren´t many of us out there though.

Unfortunately, you are correct.
