I think I'm just tired of the lifestyle. Relationships don't work so well with pilots and being gone all the time.

There are lots of things you can't 'enjoy' being gone so much.

Can't say I'd miss job loss possibility associated with: medical every 6 months, PC every 6 months, line check, FAA.

I like flying but, its too much stress with the unknown.

The whole seniority/union thing in the airlines is screwed up.
Example: Union workers get paid the same rate for what work they do, not by what company they work for.
Will you ever see a nurse who's been with the company 10 years working 10 days and month and a new nurse working 20 days a month? No, both will work the same amount, one will get paid more....

"A pilot should never get into a position that is totally dependent on income from an airline. Barry Schiff"

Time for me to get out..ha
