I am in the same boat as you. 37, married , 2 kids, house … and I have yet to regret the decision. Obviously it is hard for ATP to guarantee an exact location due to the constant changing needs of the student / instructor flow. However I have been told that they will do everything they can to get you there, but it may require a short term at another location to allow for instructors to move around or move to the airlines. The reward is definitely worth the sacrifice! Also , if you chose not to instruct for ATP there are definitely many flight schools looking for instructors. Read my story in the link above. Hopefully it helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
