Heck, I’ve even tossed around the idea of going back to CR9 FO in ATL just so I can stop commuting. I have more than enough TPIC and I just want to be home more after my second kid is born. But, if I voluntarily downgrade I’m seat locked for 1 year and that's unacceptable in my mind. What I’m leaning towards is remaining an EMB CA and dropping one of my 4 – 4 day trips every month which would give me my 18-19 days off and my pay would still be equal to that of an RJ FO. Plus I'd still be padding my logbook with TPIC.
What I want is a transition to ATL CRJ CA but I'm not holding my breath.

Is it that easy at Skywest to drop trips? How about during the good times (2007!) when airlines were actually working to fill classes? At AE, drops were non-existent back then - "Denied Due To Staffing."
