My wife IS willing to move, but we just bought a house, are 15 min from family, she has a business here, etc. It would be difficult.
How much TPIC do you have? Total time? Might be worth flying a metro or 1900 for a year or two with a home base schedule, bump your PIC and make you more competitive for a LLC or NetJets. Your family would likely see you more, you’d have less stress, your wife would have her business and you wouldn’t have to move in the short term. Pay would probably be more too.
