Wife and I have discussed this endlessly but we keep coming back to the fact I'd be giving up too much without enough time to fully make it back up. Much different scenario for FO's. I'd be gone asap.
Anyone else wearing the Golden Handcuffs and how do you stay motivated to go to work every tour?

What a depressing post. As a guy who left at 52 and 17 years all I can say is that I get up every morning and thank the aviation Gods that I left NJA, eat breakfast then give thanks again. Not only do I love my job now but my career earnings will be much higher. YMMV.
