Why do I already feel like staying where I'm at is a better deal. Especially with a 10 month old/QOL much appreciated...
IF the DEN base is the ONLY reason you’re interested, I’d pass.
No one has a clue of what is going to happen at the airline, where our new bases may or may not be, whether there’s expansion planned, etc.
One of the foundational principals in aviation is, if it’s going to get bad, it’ll get bad for the bottom of the seniority list first.
I have made decisions that were completely wrong and some that were brilliant (perhaps an over statement), but the validity of those decisions were not eveident until years later, everything is crystal clear in retrospect…
I’d stay were you are, get your upgrade, get jet PIC, hold a line, hope for a flow through agreement and, most importantly, enjoy the QOL with your new baby, that only happens once.
BTW, how old are you, that might factor into the decision.
Just my opinion.

I have a friend interviewing at F9 soon. She likes F9, realizes there are infinite issues and/or challenges at F9 and is willing to take a chance.
Worst-case scenario, she’s here six months, gets some mainline, jet experience and is more marketable elsewhere.
I would NOT tell a friend to sell their house, move to DEN, buy a big house and plan on holding a line in 6 months. It might go swimmingly well, I’d just be prepared for something less than that.
Also, just my opinion.
