it is illuminating to see some truth about the corporate sector for a change rather than the d^ck-swinging about how hard it is and how stressful it can be.

It is clearly a cut-throat business where the customers have to learn first-hand what the downside is of going cheap and cheerful and believing him when pilot B says 'I can get you there' after pilot A has declined.
Crab, please don't forget that many experienced corporate pilots in UK are ex military and many will have your present level of experience plus more gained outside the service in wider roles.

Those who have flown, or do fly, the corporate sector understand very well why the first paragraph of your post is a direct result of the second!

Those not exposed to its vagaries and pressures should be somewhat thankful that they are generally protected from it to a greater degree.
