I am not in the aviation industry, just intrested.
Having got that out the way, I gave up a good job with a very good salary to move to bristol.
I miss flying to customers sites at 4 hours notice, I miss the perks the company gave, I miss working with very technically good co-workers.
But I now no longer have a 1 1/2 hour commute, I no longer work in Slough (Thank God).
There is more to life than money.
Do not let money rule everything. Decide what is important to you.
