If you want to fly for DAL then go for it.

Are you into the international flying or just the international destinations?

That is a lot of mulah you could spend on worldwide vacations.

I always remember that poem or short story about the pilots dream. (If anyone has it please pm it to me)

How as a youngster we spent out time washing planes for rides, or waxing them for the privilege of some flight time. How much debt we have collected for our training and how many relationships we sacrificed with our shop hours.
How many holidays have we spent alone in hotels and how many meals we have missed. Short nights commuting and red eyes eating at our longevity.
We love the profession and pride ourselves at our ability. Challenge is what we thrive on and are excited at a chance to shoot the ILS to minimums. Most of us have a few uniforms in our closet and bank notes from carriers gone the way of the Dodo bird. Yet we continue to fly. A new city, a new wife, a new set of limitations to learn.
In the end it is just luck which airline keeps aloft for 30 years. Todays hero is tomorrows dust. How many wanted to work at UAL 10 years ago? How about CAL? And today, would you pick CAL over UAL? And the cycle continues and you chase the dream until you find yourself in a foreign land in a culture that is strange but has the newest biggest metal. As you push up the thrust levers and rumble down the runway you think...yes,,,it was worth it.

My thoughts:
AbsoFinglutely not. A job is not my life. Many employers ask what I can do for them. They also ask what I like about the company. What you should ask is what can company XYZ do for you.

It sounds like you have a good gig. But your answers aren't here. They are at home.

Good luck bother and if you need DAL gouge pm me.
