are you talking about EU corporate or US corporates?, I have friends in US who enjoy corporate.
they got nice hotel, lot of free time, rental car, and make good $...I know guys who left 121 to go corporate and love it!
In europe it' s hell because Europe is going down, full of debts, day after day, all my friends who fly in europe are just complaining, even the one flying the big international planes complain about fatigue, jetlag....and it' s not going to be better.
in 1-2 years, with the JAA MPL, no airlines will hire & pay you. It's going to be MPL+500 h on type then OUT! they will have to fight competition(I mean airlines can lower price if people pay to work).
Do you think airlines care about us? so yes, 35 years old, you are too old.if you were 21, with 150'000 euro to invest in a MPL with nice& rich parents, maybe!!!
The next generation of guys coming after us, who got 200h, 25 years, I think they don't realize how
they are.
