I think many pilots came to the same conclusion. The number of former airline colleagues suddenly messaging me on platforms like LinkedIn and asking for help with their first biz jet job are steadily rising.
Unfortunately it seems hard to comprehend for some that plenty of left seat time on an A380 will not automatically get you a job. And while it sounds great to fly for a pleasant company or an owner in a shiny Falcon/Gulfstream/Bombardier, most biz jet jobs are tough work and might be a bit of a culture shock for some. It’s competitive and without connections there is almost no way to land a job, unless you’re type rated I‘d say.
Let‘s hope the aviation industry picks up sooner rather than later...
