I consider myself very luck to have a difficult decision to make. This week I have been offered a Part 91 Beechjet Captain position with a bank. It pays $60,000 a year salary, medical benefits, 2% defined contribution retirement and 5% 401k match. The bank will help pay for my move to their location. The company flys 3-4 day out and backs each week (during banker's hours of course ) with only 8-9 overnight trips a year. So the schedule is great, but the salary will not increase with time other than cost of living increases.

I also got called by UPS for an interview in 2 weeks. The Beechjet job I would have to start immediately, so I have to pick one or the other.

So my dilemma is do I take a guaranteed job that has a great schedule, but not much chance of a substantial salary increase in time and all the uncertainties of being in a bank's flight department, or do I give that up for the chance at UPS.

Any advice from those that have been around a while would be greatly appreciated.
