Good honest replys.
I would suggest thinking carefully about how your partner/ future partner may feel about it/ cope with it. Maybe write a list of the things that are really important to you, choose the top four and see how they fit into the different careers.
eg for me the first two or three things on the list would be about stability for my kids, the community my kids grow up in etc ( I like the idea of them only having one hometown) and the answer would be pretty obvious, but your list might be completely different.
I have never found a better type of flying than short domestic turbo prop flying, for me the cruise is just as interesting as the approach as I get to see how the weather is moving about the country , which areas are dry etc etc.
Everyone values different things, make a list of what your things are I reckon.
Let us know in a year or two how it works out.
