I know it's not a Legacy, however at Spirit I was able to hold day trips after 8 months 
. The best part is no matter what happens In the future I am able to spend a ton of time with my 2 yr old daughter during the younger years. I Can't tell you how lucky I feel to be able to spend this much time with her at this age, it's awesome.
I'm still envious of Delta's pay and DC plan but Ya can't get back lost time!!!

Either way you need to accept that if you are going to pursue this career, you simply will not have that level of control for a long time if ever. If you prioritize it too early, you could stagnate yourself and your career too. The key to this career is flexibility and persistance. Especially if you want to make it to the higher paying carriers.

. The disillusioned chap wound up at flight safety as a B1900 sim instructor. His friend, who I also know is enjoying his golden years with UAL née CAL.
. Oh I forgot to mention two trips a month on the triple as well.So just be patient, and be a good little Do Bee, and eventually, one day trips may be ticked off from your wish list. Of course you may be a grand parent by then, but it's not impossible.
