Everyone I've known, including myself, who have jumped ship, gone part-time, or lost their medical and been forced to leave, have all been amazed at what an increase in quality of life they've achieved. They founds other means and realised that, even if the income was less, the better life style with family & friends & better health was worth more than whatever they lost in income. Sitting in an aluminium tube for 10 hours per day and ending up back where you started is hardly fun flying. Getting out of bed at 04.00 for 4 days, at home or some motel, is hardly fun flying. The days of lying on a beach for 4 days every week are over. Life is not a dry run rehearsal; go for it and enjoy it as best you can. Share some touring trips and aeros. Fly for fun, live for fun. They are not always the same thing.
