Stay in the airlines and live ur dream bro... On another note, can you point me out in the right direction on how to get the medical job? I really would like to make good money, be home and buy my own plane. LOL

Take the money. You can buy an airplane later and enjoy it.

How about you keep your flying job and you give me the medical one? JK...

Good planning on your part with that backup plan.

Do what you will enjoy. If i had the option to take a job making 150K in a job i wouldn't enjoy or stay flying making less i would stick with flying. If you dont like your job, life can be miserable. Good luck

$31K a year or $100K a year? Not many folks have the opportunity for a 320% pay raise. Next year you might make captain and a whopping $60K. Take the medical position, live like an airline FO, use the $69K extra you make the first year alone and buy an older V tail Bonanza or Bellanca Super Viking if you want to travel. If you want pure fun, try to find an older Pitts or an RV-6 or RV-4. You may have to save 6 more months for the Pitts. It's what I would do. Money=Freedom. Show me the money cause I love to be free.
