I really appreciate all the honest replies from everyone and it has really got me thinking about a lot of things.....
I will get to all who sent PM's
I definetly have not made my mind up even though it may seem so. I would agree the sentimental factor is huge for me, but I can't let that influence my decision too heavily.
My biggest fear is what the job would do to me physically and mentally. I am a young guy in pretty good shape and healthy. I have no idea what flying nights will do to me, but I do know what it did for my father. I know that I dont like the back side of the clock and I don't know if my body can adjust to that type of flying.
Money isn't everything but I definetly want to be able to provide for my family as best as possible. But what good does that do if my time on this earth is cut short because of health and fatigue reasons.
