One runway to another?  How about seeing the same terrain (water & oil rigs) for the rest of your career?  Yippeeeeeeeee!

FW is not boring. Flying into busy, fast paced airspace is challenging and dynamic.  Add in low wx and it can get serious. Tedious sometimes, yes.  Constantly boring?  Absolutely not. Have you done both?  I have and chose FW.

RW is more fun, I will totally agree with you there but it is a young mans game.  I don't want to wear a helmet and vest or life preserver for the rest of my career.  Comfortable noise cancelling headsets beat the helmet every. single. day.  I also like seeing more than one time zone every week.  

Pay and QOL are definitely better in the FW world.

If the FW gig dried up, would I go back to RW? Heck yeah, but I'd miss the better FW lifestyle; and pay.
