The reality is somewhere in between IMO - the airline pilot mentality often seems to be trying to find a reason why a flight can't or shouldn't go, whereas a corporate pilot is looking for ways in which it can go, or alternative solutions. But the incompetent outliers who really shouldn't be allowed near any heavy machinery, do tend to find refuge in the biz jet world, and there they stay - FSI training is slightly better than airline training in my experience, but they very rarely seem to outright fail their trainees. I hate being an airline "drone" and am busting to go back to corporate. Retired flag carrier pilots in the latter that I have come across have almost always created a path of destruction - angry clients, upset colleagues, horrified ops/bosses.
