I'll just say this. I think you'll think about it differently as you approach your MSR, getting close to 20. Do you really want to take a pay cut, and be the "new guy" at that point? Maybe so, just pointing out some realities. There is a lot of info on this site about pros/cons of different greener pastures. Not arguing against or for, but sometimes they're not always greener.
I meant to say this, and I *think JTS* is concurring. The greener pasture you want to go to in another 10 years is not rotary wing independent contractor. The pay is garbage. You will have skills for everything else. This isn't to say that finishing out in the CG is a bad move. Just to say that flying helo medevac or oil isn't going to be what you could hold given experience.
