I fly a privately owned G4 which is managed by a Farnborough based company.
The owner has declared his intention to sell the plane and not get a replacement.
Fortunately for me i have other types on my licence which are useful to the company so i believe they will be keeping me on.
if that was not the case it may take months to sell any plane and then the company would need to give me 3 months notice. so, i would probably have altleast 5 months in which to find another job. (assuming i was kept on until they found a buyer)
Corporate work can be great if you enjoy the hustle of self service aviation from baggage handling, catering, paying bills, meeting and greeting pax and arranging flight plans etc.
The rewards can be a challenging career with ocasional days exploring and maybe the odd day on the beach (dont expect your partner to understand why you go away so much)
There is no security in any corner of aviation, not now or any time.(last year even Virgin let 64 pilots go!) Take what you can and enjoy it.
If you just want to sit in the flight deck with a cup of tea then head for the airlines as they seem to be recruiting again as spring approaches.
