Corporate jet crew: the day rates, the lifestyle, how to get in

Ex Emirates, now corporate out of Stansted. Day rates for freelance start around 350 to 500 GBP a day and go up with experience and the aircraft, permanent positions pay a salary with a retainer. The lifestyle: on call, unpredictable, sometimes four days in Ibiza, sometimes a night in a hangar. How to get in: a corporate crew course, then agencies and operators, then one owner who likes you. Premium cabin experience at an airline is the profile.
