Now with 6+ years or so to retirement, I'm getting itchy to go back and fly again. The pay is so much better, than back in the day, and I miss the views.....What say you?
I say, if you love to fly, go for it. Life is not just about money and days off. It's also about doing what we love. I started with NeJets at age 57 and have enjoyed the job immensely. You will work hard and you won't ever make major 121 pay. So what? The flying is a lot more fun. You will also find that the crushing negativity on APC doesn't exist on the job. The vast majority of the pilots you will fly with feel as I do.
Go for it.
