I have a fiancé but no kids or really any serious life responsibilities and she would be cool with me commuting to a different plane. I know there is a strong argument to drive to work (which I currently do) and i get that. But I am wondering if any of you have gotten further on in your life when you have a wife/kids/responsibilities etc. and regretted not flying a certain plane or planes or trying a different type of flying? Even if you had to commute? The way i see it is i have the rest of my career to be based locally and drive to work when i have a family. I dont know if the price of commuting will offset the adventure of learning/flying a new fleet. But I feel like if there is a time to do it’s now.
