Good on you , indeed this place works for some people, for some it doesn’t, (some of them still haunt these boards like angry ghosts : ) ) , but it has evolved into a better job than it was when I first returned from furlough in 2015, most of the folks I fly in my fleet ( XL/ XLS ) are mid level business types , low stress, 98% of my pax are no stress. The flying is challenging, everything from Aspen, and JFK, to little Unicom 4000’ strips in the boonies, good peeps in my fleet , if it floats your boat, go for it.

I am 43 and what is most important to me is my family and time with them. I have 'been there and worn the t-shirt' on the big airplane thing. I also have around 3000+ hours of international time (real international; ocean crossing international) as well.
