I have often considered leaving it all together myself, but if I did I would go the self employed route. And I know that would mean being married to the business just like aviation.
$70K? If SkyHigh would have stayed at Horizon (despite the waterboarding and electro-genital treatments we undergo) he could be making over $100K easy. But he will blame QX for his decision to bail to an unstable startup. We can make, and all have made, bad decisions; The test of one's character comes when deciding whom to blame.
