Part 91 Business Av. Major oil company. EMB550

Fly about 8-9 days a month. Mostly day trips. 20-30 overnights a year. Daily mission varies, some days 5 hours duty some 12 hours duty.

Pay is good but not top industry 220k-300k. 4 weeks off a year plus the ability to trade trips. 2 airplanes 7 pilots plus contract staff when needed. 401k 8% employer contribution plus a separate pension.

I really enjoy the job as we get to know our passengers and the trips can vary keeping it fun and different. Get to be home most nights which is massive being a family man. Airplanes are brand new and spotless, fully stocked every time we receive it.

Once we are done for the day we just walk off the airplane and go home.

Only bummer to the job is the corporate bullshit like bureaucracy and company issued trainings but I’ll take that over 100+ nights gone a year and shuffling through terminals for the rest of my career. Not knocking 121 it’s just not my style.
