Is this job something you would enjoy? Reason I ask is because there is nothing wrong with having a good paying career outside of aviation and flying for fun on the weekends. GA is way more fun than airline flying anyway!

I know a guy who was an engineer at Boeing making some decent coin. He quit and went to ATP, did the fast track, and was at Eagle (Envoy) within a year. Long story short he hated the job and resigned after a few months. Last I heard he was back at Boeing and instructing for fun on the weekends. Not a bad way to keep your hand in flying and still have fun, because this industry will own your soul if you are not careful.
