Sometimes I ask myself why I wanna stay here and for a split second I think maybe I'm settling but then I think about how much im home with my daughter, the time off and schedule flexibility in the summer and the guys I work with and I really don't want to go elsewhere. I want this place to get better and I want more money but I'm not sure leaving here for more money is the right decision. The pay rates are fantastic on the 75/6 over at the legacies but the thought of doing the Atlantic stuff (talk about red eyes) makes me ill, lol.

Anyway, if the next contract is a big disappoint I'll still have 30 years left to go chase that legacy job.......

Of course the time off, schedule flexibility and crews at the legacies are great as well and will probably get better but if I'm going there to chase the money I'd probably always chase the bigger airplane and not be home as much, unfortunately there really isn't an easy answer.
