+TRSA,
I would've suspected that. Family is a strong motivator but...passing on a US airline career for sake of family is a bold stroke long term. Particularly when the two countries are adjoining and travel between is so easy and short.
But very interesting to learn about what people think and do surrounding a flying career. I hope my countrymen you know who made that decision are happy and prosperous when they set the parking brake for the last time.
