The "best job" is to be in the back of a corporate jet, but not serving drinks.Abe--The good thing about corporate is that your experience counts for something. If you were a 604 captain and your department shuts down, you go looking for another job as a 604 captain. None of this start at the bottom crap.
But! There still aren't that many really good corporate jobs out there--especially if you don't live in the N.E.
The quality of the airlines has declined so much from when I got hired it doesn't take a "really good" corporate job to match the pay and QOL of the airlines. You just have to be aware that any job can be gone tomorrow. TC
