LAfrequentflyer, I have to call BS. To say that staying in a $20k/yr job with a wife and kids is a good idea is self serving at best. I grew up in a flying family, have made a living flying, and know of what I speak when I say that a flying career is a selfish, self serving lifestyle. Made at the sacrifice of others. SkyHigh absolutely did the right thing. Some of us just can't hack the 9-5 life of a real job, it's not for sissy's, but sometimes you just have to do what is right for your family. I honestly don't see how anyone with kids can feel good leaving their family for days at a time to go make subsistance wages so they can have fun playing with the big toys.
