You have what is referred to as Shiney Jet Syndrome (SJS).
When you learn that isn't WHAT you fly ("some other big jet), but where you fly, how much you fly, how much you get paid to fly, how many days you have off, how much you commute, and a variety of other considerations that fall into the ever grey area of QOL - you'll find what you really want to do in my opinion.

Believe me - NOT every pilot wants to be "seated in the left seat of a 737 or some other big jet"
