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.
Also, just my opinion.
Many thanks for your thoughtful input.
