illeagle said:sounds like more $ in the king air. Why leave for a regional that is probably 1/2 the pay. Also PIC in the King Air must be better (more valuable flight time) than right seat regional? Curious as to your decision, I may have to make a similar decision one day soon. -Best
QOL. There are some good corporate jobs; this was not one of them. Time-building was not an issue. The short term pay cut hurt like heck- tightened my belt and plowed on through, happy to have a life again. It was more than a fair exchange. I'm making more now than I ever would have there. I would still like to end up at a major, but considering my age, the state of the industry and the fact that expenses always rise to meet income it will take a miracle or two for that to work out.
Contentment lies in the ability to tailor decisions to the situation and the ability to adapt as those situations change.
