Perhaps I didn't make myslef clear in my initial post. I have a full-time flying job currently(it even comes with a paycheck) with a "sister" company of the one the offer is comming from.

I am currently working in a locale with a lot of "oil industry" companies. If you know anything about this you know it is even more of a "good 'ol boy" world than aviation.

Thanks to all of you for your advise/input. I was just thinking that this may be a good way to advance my skills/employablity in the future. I can and do understand some of the points people have made, on the flip side I am confused by some of the reactions, chalk it up to naivety perhaps. Again thanks to all that have responded.
