Yep, and it will be my third MD too. Hate training, and hate commuting more, but the options are getting smaller and smaller that I may forced in to a commute. I really do not want to sit reserve on a NB jet and take that sort of pay cut. It may force me in to commuting from ATL, and that is just plain crazy, but I will do it.
Rough math is about a 35K-40K a year pay difference to be a line holder. With kids in school, taking a pay cut like that is a non starter. I will just put my card in and let the chips fall where they may. Probably NYC 73N.
