Will do! Before I go, however, what are the "right" reasons for getting into this career?
Just remember, this thread started with loganeich posting that he was going to leave a six-figure career to start at a regional in hopes of eventually getting hired by a major and earning $300K+/year. His daughter isn't even driving age yet and his wife thinks doing this is crazy. I agree with is wife.
Just trying to paint realistic expectations for the guy. Starting this career as a 42 year-old retired O5 with no hopes of promotion or another flying assignment is one thing. It's another thing thing to leave a six-figure career for a regional job in hopes of one day, barring no swan events or a recession, getting hired at a major and holding enough seniority to earn $300K, just because you like flying.
Loganeich, good luck!
