I'm glad that you are looking with eyes wide open, but that's probably a little too pessimistic.

That said, yes, you will have the worst schedule of the entire pilot group as a new hire.

The good news, however, is that if current trends continue you won't be on reserve long and even as a lower band line holder on a narrow body you'll be have more days off, fly some commutable trips, make more money, and have a pretty much all around better quality of life than at any cargo outfit (excluding UPS/FDX). And it only improves from there.

The real question you should ask yourself: are able to "power through" the first 6-18 months and is the long term reward on the other end worth it?

Good luck to you and nothing in all of this matters more than your family.
