My thoughts are that we should do it because the pay and benefits are so much better.
We're light on our feet, and adventurous, so domiciles and such aren't playing a huge factor.
Any thoughts? I really appreciate it.
Depends really. Spirit payrates aren't bad at all. With the situation in the gulf ie ISIS, oil prices couldn't rocket causing potential slow growth and more outsourcing. It's really anybody's guess. I would chase QOL and not so much the almighty $$$. Life is short, be thankful for what you have. If I were in my mid 40's, id probably stay put and enjoy life... Work to live not the other way around. Just my .02
