Not sure if the question should be re-phrased...
If you look at the evolution of business aviation and airlines, they are growing apart and I think that it is more and more difficult to make the jump after accumulating a couple of years of experience.
I have the deepest respect for the airline guys because I am not sure I would like to do their constant a to b back to a. Even if the carrier has a good network, after a year you know all the frequencies… Those guys deserve hats off…
Our job is on the other side of the rainbow, we still have in common the license and the runways apart from that? We are autonomous, they are not. We shall come up with new solutions, making decisions, airlines are SOPed to the slightest detail…
Different job in my opinion. A dentist and a surgeon are both doctors …. same patients though!
