While hours are a consideration its not how they make their choice. Corporate and in specific the mob you're talking about is a boys club. It's who you know. Hours wont help you if you don't know the right people. So start networking, get your ATPL, your hours and the job will be presented to you.

Seriously for the several guys I know in the corporate world they just happened to be in the right place at the right time, knew the right person and fell into it. The more guys I meet the more common that story becomes.

The only way to walk in uninvited is as a LAME with a CPL. They're screaming for LAME's who have a CPL because they pay you a slightly higher wage and they get a LAME to work on the aircraft globally and someone to help the captain out.

The only thing I would say is consider the lifestyle.
