I have the opportunity to leave aviation to work in the family business that one day I would own, only problem is that leaving the industry now would most likely be the end of my aviation career or at least any shot at a legacy airline. I could make better money and be home every night outside aviation and I would have made the jump already if it weren't for the fact that I really do love the time between the cockpit door closing and opening. I guess what I'm looking for is any feedback from anyone else contplating a change or has already left or left and came back. Any advice or thoughts on the subject are welcome.

Thanks
