Let's face it, none of us (generalization) went through school thinking we were gonna be corporate pilots. I wanted to fly the airlines and I know this will be a MAJOR financial hit for me. I have a wife who has a good paying job and I've been called for an interview with Mesaba, SkyWest, and Horizon. I guess, I am looking for advice from the "other" side of the fence. I know, I know, the grass is always greener...but just think, if you were on your death bed one day...will you ask yourself if you did what you wanted to with your life?
I've trained guys like you at UPS who were corporate Captains. Have you considered the cargo dog side of the airline business?
Best of luck in your decisions.
