I am really happy with the airline (2 weeks on 2 off, best salary for TP operation, based in my hometown)
Of course I am very happy about the trust and looking forward to this opportunity.
But I always wanted to fly a jet. Should I go for the upgrade for another few years or should I look for a new adventure on a new type?
It is clear to me there is no definite answer to this question and that I will have to do the decision on my own at the end, but I wanted to hear some different opinions about this “problem”.
Or maybe someone experienced a similar situation?
If you are based in your hometown and you are happy with the salary and conditions stay there. Personal life is also important. There is a big chance to find your self in a place you don't like, can't set up your personal life and wish you had stayed back but you won't be able to go back.
The best airplane is the one which allows you to have a happy life
