How many of you are in aviation, more specifically, corporate as a career?

I'm a financial consultant/analyst for my local Airport. Or were you looking for folks that work for the airlines?
Hello. My name is Red and I used to carry a .45. Now I carry a 9mm and it's getting easier to admit every day.

I thought I said corporate... ;-)

Not looking for anything real specific other than if we have aviation related folks. If we have a corporate pilot, I was going to ask if they carry at work while on the job? And, if so, how do they deal with ORD, EWR and such non 2A places.

You are missing another kind of magic too.

I manage a Part 145 repair station co-located with the manufacturer. General aviation autopilots and electronic flight instrument systems.

No carry at work due to company policy. :rules:

That's cool, always wanted to do a trip. Went up in one that was tethered and completed an annual on one a time ago.

Do you have your own envelope or just offer pilot services?

I am a corporate pilot, Although the CEO also has his CHL he request that I dont keep one in the chamber while in the airplane. Since he writes the checks I gladly comply. When at our destination I will arm up in the car. I dont carry when we go to unfriendly CHL states.
I love the sound smell of jet fuel in the morning.

Well i am not corporate but I am an Avionics Tech at a Part 145 shop.. Mostly commercial IFE (In-Flight Entertainment) systems though. Although, I have a degree in traditional avionics I.E. Autopilots, Radar, TCAS, GPWS, etc. If you fly a lot and enjoy the Audio/Video on demand, Wireless Internet, and other comfy amenities that are now standard on most commercial flights then chances are my company manufactured, installed, and maintains them. Our parent company also makes some really nice TVs. LOL. No carry allowed at my shop either. We have some nice HD security cameras though so I am sure there is nothing to worry about. :grumble

At least you will have footage for the six o'clock news, they would have to use an "artist rendition" at our place. :evil2:
