Any XL pilots who fancy a change of lifestyle should consider joining us in the corporate jet world. There's plenty of work available for people with airline backgrounds and you'll never have to do a night DLM/CFU/PFO etc. ever again! Best move I ever made in 25+ years in the business - can't believe it took me so long to figure it out. 100 hrs/month? nah! 40 to fifty if you're with a busy operator. Long night flights? - only if you fly a GV or Global Express and then it'll only be one sector and off to the bar.
Even the money is decent these days - many of the larger operators are offering airline wages for doing a fraction (oops!) of the work.
Good luck to all of you in your next careers I'm sure it won't be long before you get back in the air.
