The grass always seems to be greener on the other side. Working on the ground you can have either decent pay or job security / legal contracts / pensions, but I have not seen a position that offered both. If going for better pay: there is no enjoying benefits or just the time off if your brain is completely consumed by work; there is no such thing as a "legal contract" when the contract states "all overtime is included in the compensation" and you are expected to push 70 hrs per week. Pension: "included in the compensation". Job security: a partner once said to me that I should kick out any team member that does not perform for more than five days. Yes subjective and personal experiences, nevertheless shaping my opinion that a decent flying job might be the better gig in the long run.
