    i remember watching this video a while back as a freshman in high school and automatically made the choice to go airlines. However now that im close to getting my PPL and im at a 141 school I found myself stuck on whether to go to the airlines or corporate. I honestly just want to fly and I dont care much about money. Since this is how i think about flying the corporate's variety is super attractive cause there is many different kinds of planes and also being able to connect with the wealthy goes beyond just flying

    The time savings of flying private is a huge deal. Even a 60 minute flight time via commercial airlines with a laptop bag requires an hour of pre-boarding time and another 30 minutes to de-plane and exit the terminal. If the project is in a small town with no commercial service, then you can expect even more time for ground transfers.

    Good stuff. Only thing I would quibble with is that corporate can be even better than you are describing (you seem to be talking about Part 135). Plenty of Part 91 corporate jobs out there now where you aren't on call all the time, get lots of time off, and get paid a lot of money. But networking is key.

    Update for the airlines' side of things. The regionals, specifically SkyWest, have changed their pay. First year first officers now make $92 an hour!

    • @bonchie1
      @bonchie1 Год назад

      It's the same in the corporate world, though. Everything is going up. SICs in jet jobs are easily making $70-90K now starting, and if it's a Part 91 job, they work a heck of a lot less than an airline guy without any of the hassle of seniority.

    I've heard that 300 hours a year is considered the upper limit for charter. Any more then that and it's more financially viable to own instead of charter.
