This was my dilemma (obviously made a little easier when UAL called), I had/have 2 very nice offers for jobs that would have been politics, paperwork, and 8-6 with a similar salary potential.
But I still love to fly and the thought of a job where I do not have to check email 24/7, manage large number of people/problems and a budget just did not sound as fun as "show up for work, jump in the jet, walk away at the end of the mission".
