I had every intention of flying jets once I got into the aviation profession, but after a number of 727 familiarization flights, and getting to know a number of the union pilots, I became increasingly aware that it was not a group I wanted to be involved in. Sure, the money would have been fantastic, but I wanted to have long term happiness in my career. There are many professional pilots in those ranks who practically fly part-time but get paid well over 6 figures and are not happy people. Granted, I can't paint a broad brush and say MOST are this way. Personally, it was enough for me to make the decision to stay in the turbo prop ranks. The pilots with whom I fly are down to earth, solid individuals. Of course there have been a few bad apples over the years, but the majority are awesome people. Do I regret my decision? Not in the least bit.
Jazz, we could likely find you a spot flying Caravans out your way. At least you would be home on a regular basis If you are ever interested in flying cargo, let me know
