I hesitated to offer an opinion, as it is a very personal judgement call.

FWIW I think you made the right move.

Sure there has been deterioration in the industry since 2008, but I would hazard a guess that most professions would claim likewise.

Most of the "press" Easy get on here seems positive, and it seems even the spectre of "flexicrew" is being gradually righted.

At the end of the day, after 30 years in the industry & 37 since my 1st flying lesson, I still get out of bed at awful o'clock in good spirit (well once I have cleared the Cobwebs with some black stuff anyhow) & still have a camera in my flight bag every day, which I put to good & frequent use.

I have , over the years, met many, much wealthier than I will ever be, who were, not to put too fine a point on it, miserable bar stewards.
If work is merely "work", no amount of bucks = adequate compensation for the hours of your life wasted to earn them.
