I hear what you are saying bike..... I have asked myself several of those questions.

Do I love where I live? No, that is one of the things that is attractive about an aviation career, the travel.

Willing to commute? Perhaps. I would still probably end up with more guaranteed days off commuting than I have now.

Time Frame? I figure 5 years to go from zero time to an entry level position in a 135 or 91 operation. That is the direction I would intend to go.

Is the time frame worth it? Not sure and probably would not know unless I made the change.

Debt? The plan would be to work the current position since it is so flexible and pay as I go or put money on an account. I would avoid the loans at all costs. The longer time frame to complete the training would be worth not having to worry about those outrageous loan payments.

The thing is, if I do not do it, I will probably always regret it. If I do do it, I doubt I will ever wonder "what if I stayed at my old position."
