I was corporate for nearly a decade (regionals before that) and made the leap (SWA in my case) four years ago.
Losing some perks from corporate will suck but just for a short time. The long run big picture is leaps and bounds ahead.
The closest you have to being on call is reserve, but when the block is done you go home and you know when your reserve days are.
Don’t look back!

Unless you are working for a top-notch company/ Flight Department- Walmart, Discount Tire, Shell Oil, etc.- Corporate flying is a far cry from being an airline pilot. The two are barely in the same universe.
I know because I’ve done both.
I could go on and on with details but I’m too tired to type it all out.
Just trust me.

I was out on furlough for 10 years and flying corporate. Yes, the pay has gone up substantially and I have a number of friends who are doing corporate and making 200-300k. My employer tried hard to retain me and basically matched what I’d be making at UAL for quite a few years, minus the retirement. Many pilots leaving corporate to the airlines so they’ve had to up the pay quite a bit to keep people around and not have a revolving door.
