I've never been airline, but I think Furloughed's first post was pretty accurate. However, there are as many crappy corp jobs as there are crappy airline jobs. My last gig, I was the only typed guy for 4 owners. Flew 20 days per month, had to do everything myself. Now I'm at a Fortune 300 company, and have a vastly different job. Great pay, benis, schedule, ect...I think it's a mistake to lump all corp. together. If you get a good gig, it's great, otherwise, ho hum...
