Agreed. This is what I did. Airline industry was tanking, I received my furlough notice and displacement notice and finally decided to cut my losses. I am part time CFI ing right now and in school working on something else completely.

I do miss the cockpit and miss the conversations at cruise. But I don't miss a plastic wrapped kiosk sandwich, dirty hotel rooms, commuting (arrgh), uncertainty for a future, etc AT ALL!

I think you'll find that if you can keep a steady diet of aviation in your life (2-3 hours a week min), then you'll find happiness and be able to focus on more important and more fulfilling activities.
