I was impressed with the people at flight safety, and I did loose a lot of sleep over the decision not to take the job. At 32 I feel that I am not ready to give up flying completely. I worked too hard to get here, and in spite of all the pessimism about the airline industry, I think there is still potential. On paper it looked great, but figure in that I would have to sell my house, move, rip my kids out of school, give up the flight benefits, and not fly at all, and I am not ready to do that. Even at 2nd year regional pay the difference is not enough to make up for all of those things. I was surprised to find that my wife didn't even want me to do it. She doesn't want me to give it up. So, I decided not to go steal a type rating, and just stay with what I have for now.
