Ya, I was. I realized that it wasn't worth it to me though. 2-leg commute to a base in the middle on nowhere with all day trips, 11 days off and spending most of those days commuting back and forth to work. Not to mention rent in two cities and no per diem because of said day trips. 24 month training contract was also unsettling. I took a job as a dispatcher making twice what an FO makes, and I'll do my CFI on the side and eventually do that full-time. I want that opportunity to build my character as a pilot as well. Call me a puss, whimp, whatever, but at 340tt I just didn't feel ready either. I'm only 23 so there's no rush, SkyWest will always be there.

I'm not knocking you all who chose to go. Everyone is different and in the end, not going was my best option. (I hope! )

Good luck all!
