I know I'd end up at a major eventually, with about 15 years left in my career. The problem is I'm not in it for the money just the time off. By that time I would be unable to hold the schedules I wanted at any point in my career. At this point I'm Eagle til I retire unless I can upgrade and use the extra money to go back to school and get a new career.
Excellent.
Honestly this worthless career is the only bad part of my life, since that's all this forum is about it probably seems like I'm a lot more unhappy than I really am.
Most definitely, your best career path is to stay put. As you've deduced, this hiring announcement is meaningless, trivial, and below your notice. Nothing to see, move along...
