Try not to fall into the "grass is greener" syndrome. In your job now, you are in the position to network with other corporate operators. If you want to stay part 91, start making friends on the airport where you're based. There's a good chance your next job will come to you.
As far as networking goes freight is good if you want to hang out with freight dogs all day and maybe the UPS driver. I flew freight and it was instrumental in getting my corp job, but not because of flight time, it was because I'd been to 135 ground school (stoopid insurance company.) My guess is with some PIC jet time and multi turbine time, a lot of folks won't care about your total time.
Why be so concerned with your flight time? You got hired to fly a King Air and Falcon with really low time, so don't you think there are others out there who could hire you with not-so-low time? Those operators rarely have to advertise for an opening, it's all word of mouth. (I work for one, so I kinda know how it works.)
EXCELLENT ADVICE...Geronimo4497 said:It sounds like you have a pretty good gig going there. IMO, if you want to stay 91, I would stay with the outfit that you are with now for as long as possible. From what I have seen, most good corporate departments like to see a commitment with previous employers, not jumping from ship to ship to ship. If you are not flying that much, I assume that you have a good amount of time off between flights. I hate to even suggest it, but what about freelance instructing on the side? Just a thought.
