Problem is they need me to start in 3 weeks. I am currently operating as a single crew and my company will likely have to ground the plane for a little until they can find another first officer and send him through training (which sounds like classes might be back up for a bit). The other job while not bad will require me to live somewhere I still like but is much much more expensive and pays less. It will also likely take me longer to get where I want to be in the end. However they will let me start when Im ready. I obviously would like to take job number one but it will put my current employer in much more difficult situation. They are great people and a great company. They do have 4 other planes (just different types). My last intention is to screw over my company but at the end of the day I feel like I have to do whats best for me and my personal happiness. Thoughts?
