I think I'm having an Aneurysm trying to comprehend someone leaving 100K+ for this.

Dude should have gone to the gym....working out makes EVERYTHING better....and hell you could have bought a B36 and gone sky-hopping till your hearts content.

Yes you are correct and I have been doing it! If this doesn't happen, I will at least have some money saved!

Once you've had a taste of money, it really highlights the fact that "money isn't everything," doesn't it?

I'm not going to say I have money, but I have enough. I want to work for the regionals. I realize it is probably the worst idea I will ever have in my life. Guna do it anyway just to be sure how bad it is then I'm going to leave.

people who say money isn't everything obviously don't have any.

I have been on both sides of this coin and I'm telling you, money isn't everything. I have spent more time with my wife, daughter and grandson this summer than I ever did when I made 6 figures in engineering, and this is the busy time of the year! I hope I never have to go back!

Not exactly. Money isn't everything, but poverty is hell....

... unless you are a bodhisattva.

Flyerwife is a poser. Probably the owner of a flight school. Her (his) attempt is to lure middle-aged, mid-life crisis men into persuing their "dreams". Beware of flyerwife et al.
Going from 120k to 20k in salary will certainly lead to depression, nervous and social disorders, and potentially alcoholism. Shame on you flyerwife!

Hotmama, again, can we switch jobs? You don't like your job and I do not like mine. I can give you my 120k engineering job for your flying job. As I said, you'll be in an office all day going from meeting to meeting and dealing with corporate BS all day. And you will take some of it home too, very important fact!
Where else can you build time quickly other than at a regional for 20k/year. I am looking for the time and then get out. I am open to any other avenue as well.
I do not believe in any pilot shortage, but what will happen with the 1500h rule? I do hope the law becomes a fact! Retirements? One sure thing, the next few years may be quite interesting...
