It's a gamble and even in good times it is never a guarantee but I wanted to see what most people thought, especially people in the industry with a clear view of what is going on. Thanks in advance.
I would not leave AD now, unless my family hardship situation was so bad that I would be willing to work in a non-flying/non-aviation civilian job.
I'd hang out for a couple more years and see what the industry looks like. If you get close to 15 years, think hard about staying for 20.
