I was certainly willing to retire from my current department if it would have been even remotely close from a financial perspective. But even though we operate large cabin airplanes, it still makes sense to go. I had one carrier in mind in particular where I've always wanted to work and that's where I am headed. (!!). I'm sure I'll miss many of the perks of the corporate job, but I am looking forward to many of the aspects of 121 flying that I enjoy as well.

(And I am pushing 50 also)
-Week on/Week off
-4 weeks vacation (New Hires)
-Compensation in the 90% (IBM)
-Yearly LTI/STI's (20k/10k)
-5 pilots to a frame
-Business class tickets both domestically & internationally
-Yearly Retention Bonus

When questioned about cost, I'm happy to provide the invoice for an initial @ CAE MMU.
