Your position is different than ours. We're already there.
"Would I pay the dues all over again?" is a very different question than "Would I give it all up now to go work in an office for less fun, money and time off?"
But frankly your POTENTIAL situation is better than mine, because you'll likely have far more opportunity due to industry circumstances.
DAL WB CA's (who work their arses off) are pushing close to one million per year right now. You can make $300k+ without breaking a sweat as a CA at any big-six/legacy. There's more to our compensation than flat hourly rate. How long to CA? 5-7 years. FO pay is $200k+ after a few years.
