Wow, what is it today ? 1997 ? Everything is peaches and cream, majors hiring, oil is cheap, airlines buying airplanes.
then BOOM, recession, financial crisis, etc. layoffs, etc
Keep the 100K+ ATC job, build up your leave till you are fat on use or loose, attend airshows and volunteer at AOPA workshops via your ATC background, and enjoy that side of aviation.
Fly when you WANT to, not HAVE to.
Good Luck
