How do you spend way more time at home when you sleep there only 11 days a month? So sleeping in a hotel on a short overnight in Fargo is more appealing then putting the kids to bed and sleeping with your wife? Not trying to be a smart a$$ about this I'm just really confused about leaving my current career. I have my 1500 and make regional captain money now but I'm maxed out as far as pay so I know flying has more upside in the long run. trying to weigh the pros and cons on being away for more pay.
