Not the reasons most would think either.

Since the company I work for has use for part-time work, I'm actually staying on in that aspect.
Now instead of sitting in an office all day, I'll be actually doing something, and then if I can fly, I have the flexibility most of the year to be able to still fly professionally on the side. I'm also trying to supplement my flying by starting a recurrent training business in TBM's/Meridians/Malibu's, so look for me there too!
Both are my passion, and it's an interesting move for me. I feel very lucky, to be able to work with my family and hopefully continue our farm. It's not all doom and gloom out there folks!
It sounds like you are moving into a system that includes the best of both worlds!
Are you looking at becoming an independent businessman in the recurrent training program?
What a way to keep your hand in professional flying.
Best of luck ewfflyer!
