I have read many complaints from pilots on these forums about "how terrible" QOL is in the airlines and how the legacy carrier jobs are growing farther out of reach each year. Did they forget what it is like to be chained to a desk for 50 hrs a week, or does the future really look so grim that I am better off in management?
Congrats on breaking the 1000 TT barrier proskuneho. Btw - 33 y/o and with your times is not too far off what some military pilots might have around that time - likely more PIC depending on the community but I wouldn't think to old for a career. I know you've been around the forum for awhile and have heard both sides of the story so I know that you will make an informed decision.
