I'd sure be tempted. I started in Part 91 corporate, and I loved almost every minute of it. It didn't feel like a grind like this airline stuff does. Obviously you'd be leaving A LOT on the table, financially, but the trade off could be worth it.
I'm in my mid-30's so I'm going to keep chipping away at trying to get to a 1st rate airline. In your shoes? I don't think you'd be crazy at all to consider it.
