Boy, you came to the right place, you may get opinions that run from every end of the spectrum!

I can only speak for myself as I re-entered aviation full time after a prolonged absence. Questions I had to consider, can I afford the pay cut? Is my wife behind me? Can we handle the prolonged nights away from home? Will my wife mind moving to a new city? Would she mind, and can I handle the 2 months of intence training? I am going to miss some special moments in my kids life, but I will be home for others, will this be a problem?..... Those are a few questions I faced, and some I could not have adequate answers for unless I was in the business.....

I went for it, and believe me, I am having the time of my life. I fly for a fantastic company and am happier than ever doing what I should have been doing all the long. Yeah, there are moments, scheduling problems, management, ego's, troublemakers, cry-babies. But what the heck, they can be interesting, even fun to laugh at. And I have yet to find a job, that does not have it's share of BS anyways, so I might as well as enjoy what I am doing while dealing with the BS.

Hope that helps, and if you do go for it, get yourself current, and maybe a few extra hours. With your experience, you should have no problems...

Good Luck
