If finances was your reason for leaving, things have improved tremendously, entry-level pay is $30K to maybe $80K with some of the bonuses, upgrades come fast and the majors will continue to call more and more folks over the next ten+ years.

You could upgrade at a regional and be making six figures or close to it within 3-4 years and be at a major in 4-6 at the rate things are going.

Times have literally never been better, current opportunities are unprecedented (I know you've heard that before from Kit Darby, but it's apparently for real this time).

That said... it's still aviation, and you never know what might happen. You'll want to get educated on career progression, and what you'll need to do, and what to avoid. Major airline hiring standards have gotten complicated. Not everybody is getting called...
