If you are fortunate enough to have a choice, that is outstanding. John Carr is right, though. Understand the cyclic nature of this business and realize that chances are good that today's OK contract will quite possibly get gutted tomorrow and there is an even chance you'll get laid off at some point. Not trying to be negative, but if anyone thinks that it's all smooth sailing because guys are retiring and airlines are hiring, they're delusional. Live below your salary, have a rainy day fund, and be financially and emotionally prepared when things go south.
