Career decisions

Making decisions have never been my strong suite. JAB and I were at Mary�s. Going twice in a week is very unusual for us. We�re an old married couple, but we went� out last night. I�m not really in the mood to get into the details too much but to make a long story short, I met a guy who works for the another airline here in Atlanta. Actually I�d met him before a long time ago when I was still at Delta; he remembered me and asked me how things were going at Delta since the bankruptcy announcement. I told him that I wasn�t there anymore, yada, yada, yada. He asked me why I left and I got into yada, yada, yada. Well he ended up asking me if I would be interested in being in the training department or supervision with this airline. He said that he knew that this airline was growing and in about 2 weeks the job announcements were going out. He said that this airline, unlike Delta, hired people from the outside to be supervisors and instructors. I don�t want to say that he told me that he could pull some strings for me but that�s what he pretty much did. He said that he knew of three Delta instructors who were going to apply and that they�re chances looked good. He told me to email him my resume if I was interested.

The thing is, I don�t know if I�m interested. I know that working for this airline would afford me a huge raise and I admit right now that I am broke and struggling to survive on this entry level income that I have right now but part of me wants nothing to do with the airline industry anymore. But again I�ve been in it so long I feel like that�s all I know. All I really know. I seem to continue to get into jobs that don�t have a lot of room for advancement. JAB is leery afraid that I�ll get back into flying. I don�t want to be a flight attendant anymore. I can say that without hesitation. If I were still at Delta I would have started my 15th year the date they announced their bankruptcy. I know money isn�t everything but right now it�s a lot. But I admit that I�ve gotten used to having weekends off and holidays off. I like wearing normal clothes. I know that if I got hired by this airline I would have to weekends again and probably a lot of nights and holidays. I don�t know if I�m ready for that. But I know that I can�t afford to stay at my present job even though I enjoy it and I�m making a lot of lateral moves. I guess it wouldn�t hurt to at least apply. Right?
