I did it too. Thousands of hrs on the big ones, long haul 11 hrs, Autoland (never used it), sophisticated cockpits (lol), Cat III (did some not many) etc. It wasn't bad of course but....I like the comment about the yellow school bus :-)
I am with NJ now and I love it. The lifestyle, the collegues, the flying, new destinations all the time and the professional operation. I have seen low level GA too ( very low believe me and they were flying Jets)
I believe other GA operators are fine too, but I like the idea to life where I like, it is a great plus. Now I am living in the sun, meeting nice people and enjoying life.
But if you love (or need) big planes, don't do it.
