If you're at AA, perhaps it could help to point out that the 80-ALV went down 9 hrs this month in DFW
And, as someone mentioned, maybe compile some of those foreign carrier solicitations that point to the Airbus experience as the opener of doors.

It's a tough situation. As I understand it, you need to show a judge that moving to a different base on a different aircraft is justified by your career vs. staying where you are where you probably share custody and the judge wants you to have a damn good reason for moving out of town and taking your son with you.
There's plenty of good reasons obviously. If the company is shrinking the MD-80 fleet and growing the airbus fleet that's something a judge can comprehend easily but it's hard to put a dollar value onto. Definitely take a look at average line values on the two fleets, might be something there. Reserve vs. Lineholder also.
If the base you are considering moving to has a training facility and you say you want to go into the training department that would be a no-brainer, show the training department pay for the judge.
You might consider cost of living in the new city.
Good luck.

Have no idea what airline your with, but if I found myself in a similar situation I would consider several factors.
Would I be more or less senior if I switched airplanes? Would the quality of life based on the current schedules be better or worse? Then of course look at the pay and bases. If your an F/O then I would also ask myself which one I'd make Captain on faster.
Answer the above questions and I'm sure you'll get the answer your looking for.
