I've heard of a few who've voluntarily given up a place in the RHS of a jet for the opportunity to drive a train, haven't met them myself though most have ended up at one or two train companies which pay above average, generally Jet FO/Turboprop CPT money for a 35 hour 4 day week working 1 Sunday in 4.
I'm looking at making a move in the opposite direction though the more I read in the T&E forum on here, the more I wonder if I'm absolutely mad. There's one airline I can think of in Europe for English speakers which actually seems to enjoy proper legacy T&Cs (and doesn't really get heavily criticsed on here) plus maybe a few others which are decent. The rest seem to be totally unsustainable from a work/life balance perspective based on what's been said.
