Corporate jet time?
 
I'm currently at 1150/50 and have an opportunity to work for a company flying a Citation 501 and Beech Premier in Southern California. I'd eventually like to get into overseas contract flying in Asia. I've talked to American Eagle and Mesaba about potentially working for them. However with the recent number of companies ceasing operations, I'm very concerned about what is happening with the US airline industry. How is corporate jet time viewed with foreign airlines? The advantages with the position offered is that that pay and quality of life would be far better than at the regional airlines. I'd be able to stay here in San Diego plus have my ATPL & jet/glass cockpit/FMS time in about 5 months this way and get a Citation type rating.

I'm in a very similar position, a company offering me to fly captain on a citation bravo, and Iam flying FO on the ATR right now, I didn't accept yet because I think I can get better experience with the airlines, corporate only make me fly 300hrs a year... I know pay is better etc... but i'm thinking about the long range perspective (I can get upgrade to 733 in less than two year on my current airline)... but still I'm confused :bored:
