I work for a small but growing 135 Charter. My initial plan was to fulfill my contract (two summers), put my resumes out, and move on to the airlines.
The boss has just expressed and interest to involve me on the management side (what I used to do before I flew airplanes), along with the attendant pay raise. I'm seriously considering the opportunity.
Pros: I like being home every night. I like the people I work for and with. I like the flying. I like my 15 minute commute to the airport. Scrapping it out with a small growing startup is a lot of work, but can be very rewarding.
Cons: I don't like not having time off in summer. The QOL at the airlines is (eventually) way better, I'm told. The pay at a 135 will never match what an airline job will pay. The pay will never match what an airline will pay. Did I mention that there is no way a 135 can match the pay at an airline?
I used to not give a rip about money after a certain somewhat modest point, but now I've got a family and a house and a retirement to think about. So all of a sudden I'm considering making a yuge decision based on the benjamins, which is something I've literally never done before. Is abandoning core principles in the pursuit of
filthy lucre noble in this case? Will our dynamic duo be able to escape the Riddler's diabolical trap? What is best in life? Am I nuts to even be considering the offer?
