Remember, there are (were) some plants out there where the ROs make slightly more than the SROs because of OT, actual paid work hours, special union pays like travel time and paid meals, and mediocre SRO bonuses/free professional time.  And the ROs were working about the same amount of OT on average at these plants.  There were 2 of them like that, but that was before 2009 so maybe things are different.  The SROs were not enjoying themselves and the ROs were quite smug about it.   These were union plants.  It is hard to find out the reality unless you talk to a few people that actually work at the plants.  If you want to climb the ladder, be able to move easily to different day shift positions and be more marketable if you decide to quit, than SRO is the way to go over RO.  You will probably make more $$$ too, but that isn't guaranteed.

Thanks for all the info guys. Kind of what I was expecting but had to ask the question. I am sure none of them are bad options especially since I am in a position where I really don't even HAVE to work. That also gives me the flexibility to even just grab my RV and travel the country until the timing somewhere lines up. Either way I am looking forward to my next adventure.

hamsamich:
Wow since you have an RV maybe you should grab your SRO and do whatever you want 2 years later!  Good Luck.

bbksv:
Yeah..I actually can't wait to just RV full time. Only problem is I can't drag my boat along with me. First world problems...haha.
