Default Some serious thought

I am currently working (10 years) for another agency under DHS that has the same problems; severely under staffed, days off cancelled or flexed, never knowing if your working 8 or 12 hour days, management is making decisions about things they have never done. I think the government is the same across the board.

With that out of the way, I was a pilot before all this with enough time for an ATP. So the question, is it worth my time to get my commercial instrument single engine current so I can apply? I am currently 35 years old and I walk a canine around cars at a vehicle checkpoint for a living.

This job would be a pay raise with the new SSR rate. Don't care for the initial locations though. What other locations are there to move to down the road?

I have flown Piper warrior /Archer/Seminole/arrow
King air 100/200
Citation 2
Learjet 31/35/55 and SIC typed 45

Any and all thoughts are welcome. I have been working between 500-800 hours of overtime a year and traveling, so that part seems about the same. I would just be able to get back into flying.

Thanks for everyone's time!
