To get a perspective on corporate flying an old boss used to say, "they pay us to wait, the flying is for free". Nothing better summarized it.
A very true and accurate statement. The year I flew less than 100 hours was the year just prior to me going to work with the Marshal Service. The second month I was there I flew in one month more than I had all of the previous year.

And I loved it. Ten years later I was hating flying over a 100 hours a month.

I actually got burned out.

Now, if I could go back flying, 40 to 50 hours a month would be perfect.
