What does your heart say at this point? What will feel worse--a few tough years moving job to job flying in pursuit of the "right" dream job, or getting a few more years of retirement but pretty much writing off an airline career? Chair fly both outcomes and then make the call you can live with. Nobody else on these boards will know the best answer except you.

i left when they wouldn't let me fly anymore. A bad day in an aircraft is better than a good day on a staff, at least for me. It is not a great hiring boom now but better than it has been in a while. PM me if you need a good lead. You are USMC C-130 background right? Concur with Albie, follow your heart. And if you retire go see him. Good luck.
