If you make that move, at least you will have a good perspective of what life is like as a typical line pilot (something that a lot of management seems to lack), and hopefully you will be able to sympathize with the pilot's union when it comes to making decisions on the future of the company, should you ever be in a position to make those kinds of decisions.
Good luck.
I have to chime in here. If he does make the move, it'll be quite the opposite. If you ever tried to climb the corporate ladder and later fly 121, you'd realize how incredibly easy the flying gig is and understand why no one will sympathize with us. It can be fatiguing at times sure, but that's about it.
