Just finished the corporate to major thread, peaked my curiosity so I did a search of the forum archives, found more of the same. Backed out to go elsewhere to see the latest thread about a company going belly up and floating to the surface.
I’ve been in corporate aviation for a touch over two decades, I’ve worked for my fair share of companies but I left each one on good terms for a step up the food chain, eventually arriving where I’m at today.
Looking back on my career I still see those very same companies operating those very same flight departments, some have bought new equipment to replace the old, others have done the same as well as expanded all still kicking.
I’ve never been furloughed, layed off, fired or cut due to an economic down turn. I’ve never had to hear about my job going south from Lou Dobbs on CNN or showed up at the company hanger to find a for sale sign swinging from the nose of the company jet.
So what’s up here? Am I just blessed, did I win the aviation lottery of life or something?
And why all the vitriol and underlying loathing for corporate ops in general… I’ve noticed one thing, both the fracs and the airline drivers seem to have a single opinion of us pure corporate jocks. Why?
What did we ever do to you?
