I'm trying to get OUT, corp pilot home most nights or back to a mech engr job which would get me out on the factory floor some. I'll always have the memories of airline jet flying, something I have proven myself in, that I've done well in.
Best of luck to you, I'm hoping to do the same at some point. The regionals have sucked the life out of me and it's affecting those I care about - my family. It kills me to miss out on so much of their lives. There's too much personal, time, and financial sacrifice involved for what is received in return - in my opinion. It's interesting how what can be one's hog heaven is another's personal hell.
