Gentleman's hours for the most part, but then there are the all nighters trans-pacific or trying to get through to Mumbai on HF along with what feels like half the EK airbus fleet!
At least Hoggie, its only a 7 hr-ish jet, any longer than that and you need to be able to stand up and pee (or wake the boss up on the way to the one at the back)
I always liked the 2000 more than the 900, but the low VFE on them is a pain if you don't like those two stage AB's
If you do have a good boss, then a corporate gig beats an airline flogging every time, it does however get a bit stressful when the boss is running out of cash however
