I also left NJA about a year ago with 9 years of service. I was stuck in the right seat of the Encore for the entire time so my decision was probably easier. Flying for a quality 121 carrier is great and there is little I miss about NJA. I moved to my base and life is good. As you know commuting is rough and not recommended. My job at the airline is so much easier and way more fun. Jumping to an airline from NJA will bring more dignity to your aviation career.
