I know how you feel about the pay cut. I'm trying to transition into the civilian flying world after 15 years in the Air Force. While all of my time is jet time, I've been out of the cockpit for 2 years and I too am wondering if I should be looking at companies like Spirit or Republic. Time will tell.

Just for some perspective, you've got more TT and PIC than I do, and more recency. Hope the majors call you before V1 on the switch to a jet company.
