I fly corporate jets. The smaller ones and you will never make a fortune!Yes you will have long days mostly spent in cars. Trains and positioning back in planes!
Hanging around, weekends lost. Hotel rooms !
Airline pilots have it Easy, no having to flight plan fill in Gendex, sort Pax hotels taxis arrange maintenance and all the other 100 things the corporate pilot does!
They just turn up and fly!
I was on a recurrent in the USA and a 35 year old businessman was doing his in a Citation jet he flew single pilot!
He had businesses in different states in the USA and a weekend villa in the Bahamas.
Flew a Cirrus 22 for two years and then bought a five year old CJ1!
He had it right but how many can afford that lifestyle unless a quarter share in a PA28 lights your fire ; )
This poster does not like being a lawyer like his father and grandfather!
I identify with that!
He will never be a successful lawyer unless he loves his work so either get to live the work or do something else!
It's a short life and I don't regret a thing in my flying even if it can be **** or badly paid
Pace
