What do you feel inside?
Hi Seattle Pilot,
You are the only one who can really answer this. Go within and ask your higher Self, Lord God of your Being, or whatever terminology you want to call it, and your answer will come to you. Trust in being able to make the correct decision for yourself.
Great place the Pacific Northwest....Yelm, Olympia.
By the way, there is no such thing as "degradation" from a jet to a small turbo prop. It's not important what you fly, but WHO YOU FLY FOR AND HOW THEY TREAT YOU.
Having flown a King Air I can tell you, you'll really enjoy the hand flying. The PIC on a twin turbine will also put you in good stead for the future.
I am based abroad from my home and work a roster and enjoy the opportunity to work in a different environment.
Good luck whatever you decide.
