Hi All,

So what I'm trying to find out is if there are any "former" 121 or 135 guys out there that for whatever reason left the industry and are actually happier/content in their new lives than flying for a living. What were the pro and cons in your personal experience. Or if your an current 121/135 pilot and you could get out of aviation and find a stable/good paying job would you? Any comments or experience would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

I'm a blue collar worker looking to change carriers to aviation. I have received interview offers and it seems things are picking up in the 121 world, but are they picking up enough to make the leap worth it. Or do I just keep flying around on the weekends on my own time...
