I guess I won't comment either way, other than I miss flying every once in a while.

Regional capt. 2007
50,000 ish
320 hours a month away
13 dollars an hour

Full-time manager at a shipping company 2012
44,000 ish
140 hours a month (working about 35 hours a week right now)
26.19 dollars an hour

I left aviation and it worked out. Not everybody has the same experiences in either situation. You only get so many years on this rock, might as well enjoy them. For me, not flying has been awesome, and like I said, I still miss it a bit.
