I've considered it. Unfortunately, the only airline in my city isn't doing much hiring, and I'm not willing to move. Especially to the city my current airline's home offices are in.
Good luck with your career choice as well. It sounds like we both have a difficult path ahead.

You can't go wrong.
Thanks for the advice and encouragement. I enjoyed reading your story, and wish you the best going forward. It sounds like you made a great move.
