Thanks for the response. Yeah I totally understand the job security with staying at an airline. I think the airlines will be hiring quite a bit for the next decade so losing just two years of seniority where I'm at is worth the risk of finding potential greener pastures. I just have friends going to the majors and here I am considering 91. So, I'm just making sure that I'm seeing it from all angles. We all have our moments to where we want to explore in hopes of finding "home". And I don't currently feel that.
