I hear ya. Been around the block already. Worked for AE for 5 years and then Southern Air for almost 10. Had to hang it up to help raise the little ones. I literally was on the road 20+ days a month. Last 10 years I did the options trading and crypto thing. Have got 10 years before I retire out and just want to fly. Live in Houston and thought the newer EJets would be fun and not commuting would make it nice. I don't want to go to the majors as I'd rather be in a smaller place where I know everyone. Figured I'd sit however long it takes to upgrade and do the training CA route or training dept.
That is the plan. If anyone knows something better I love to listen to it.
