I spent 13 years at a 121 carrier and was faced with downsizing, going out of business etc. I was lucky to have been hired by a fortune 500 (part 91 only) in my hometown with beautiful aircraft/ maintenance. I've now worked for them 6 yrs and am seriously considering going back to a major. lll be 50 so it won't be easy. My biggest draw to the majors is the anonymity. I loved being a number that no one really cared about. As long as I showed up, no one cared! in 91, thats not how it works. my boss is a serious micromanager and the company is dragging its feet to boost our pay in order to keep up with the airlines. True, I only work about 8-10 days per month and rarely fly more than one leg per day. The money is decent and the benefits are great. I wish there was a way to embrace the situation and stay but, as a former airline guy, ill simply never be part of the "team". My coworkers suck, probably because they are threatened by me but I can't seem (after 6 yrs) to find common ground.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Some (any) career advice is appreciated.
