Curious to see what you guys think..so a very quick background...used to fly helo EMS, now fly 767 as FO for 5Y.
Been approached by old EMS company to go back and fly for them for starting pay of 82k/yr with a 5k signing bonus.
I’d be home each day and work 7/7 schedule with the HEMS gig, compared to the variation of schedule with 5Y, but basically work 17 days a month.
I’m torn between being home every day and having good QOL and family time versus possibly one day getting big money at the airlines...
We are wanting to start a family soon and I honestly feel like being home is worth more than trying to make big money at FDX or UPS etc...that’s really the toughest pill I’m trying to swallow is giving up the “possibility” of a big salary and retirement for QOL and being home daily.
Anyways, just thought I’d see what opinions I got here.
