The main reason I still do this job is that it pays good money. Whilst I love flying, airline flying is far from exciting, the glamour has pretty much gone and don't even get me started on being treated like a criminal at security.

You are paid a good salary for only 4 days a week work and weekends off too. Pro rata you are on better money than myself as a jet aircraft captain and you have the luxury of knowing when your days off are for the rest of the year.

You don't mention whether you enjoy your job or if it involves shifts but I would say that your quality of life could easily be as good as that of an airline pilot and you are better paid than the majority of first officers which is where you will be for a number of years.

Enjoy your life and with your spare cash do some fun flying.
